James Madison University School of Music Performance Collection is a growing set of audio and video recordings that document most performances affiliated with JMU's School of Music from 1956 to the present. The collection consists primarily of reel-to-reel tapes, u-matic video tapes, VHS videotapes, cassette tapes, digital audio tapes (DATs), 78's, transcription discs, and compact discs. Recordings are assigned a call number according to their performance date and are stored in a climate-controlled facility within the Music Library.

Access to original recordings is limited. To listen to the original recording in the Music Library, please contact staff to make an appointment.
