Indexing and abstracts for music periodicals; includes including music education, performance, ethnomusicology, musical theatre, theory, popular music forms and composition.
Basic Search Function
When using the basic search function, you will want to make sure to check the box "full-text" and "exclude reviews." This will give you full-record results where you will be able to view the PDF and exclude reviews that won't assist in writing your artist paper.
Advanced Search
The "Advanced Search" function will be useful for your artist paper when you want to narrow your results. You can use Boolean searching by adding search terms together. You will still need to click "full text" and "exclude reviews." You can select the type of source you want: article, magazines, or scholarly journals.
Citation Generator
Music Periodicals Database has citation generators at the end of the articles. Using citation generators can be helpful, but you always should double check your work using Chicago Manual of Style Online.
