The National Association of College Wind and Percussion Instructors (NACWPI) addresses the needs and concerns of instrumental instructors on college and university campuses and plays a key role in the education of today's young wind and percussion musicians. The Research Center score collection contains more than 4,800 scores. This collection of solo and ensemble music for wind and percussion instruments consists of gifts from Dr. Geary Larrick, David Hite, various publishing companies, and NACWPI itself in the form of composition contest scores.
The National Association of College Wind and Percussion Instructors (NACWPI) scores are searchable here. More than 4800 scores are cataloged. They can be requested through your UMD Libraries special collections researcher account. For information on uncataloged scores, please contact the curator.
