University Librariy Collection Development

New Resource: Nkoda

Get ready for an exciting and modern upgrade to your choral experience starting this Fall! Beginning September 1, 2025, Westminster Choir College will be integrating nkoda, a cutting-edge digital music library platform, into our choral programs. This shift is designed to enhance learning, streamline rehearsals, and increase access to musical scores.

Why nkoda? A Score of Benefits for You!

nkoda offers instant access to an incredible collection of over 140 music publishers and 130,000 editions, including a vast array of choral scores. This means:

· Instant Access to Repertoire: Say goodbye to delays! You'll have immediate access to all your choral scores, allowing for more flexibility and responsiveness in repertoire choices.

·  The nkoda database also includes solo repertoire and can also be used for applied music lessons.

· Enhanced Annotation: Mark up your scores digitally with ease! Highlight, annotate, and take notes directly on your tablet, then edit or share them seamlessly.

· Integrated Learning Tools: Practice smarter with built-in tools like metronomes and multi-view options, and even link to audio recordings for deeper score study.

· Eco-Friendly: This transition significantly reduces paper consumption, contributing to Rider University's sustainability efforts.

· Portability & Organization: All your scores, consolidated on one device. No more lugging around heavy binders!
