Pennine Music launches new search engine

Pennine Music has launched a fantastic new search engine to make finding music easier.

Pennine
 

Pennine Music has announced the launch of an innovative new service for brass bands with their Brass Band Music Search Engine.

Every publisher

This new 'Google' of Brass Band Music visits every publisher across the globe and catalogues their titles of brass band music with the aim of helping bands quickly and easily find out if a piece of music has been published and is available to buy.

The site also shows what other people have recently been searching for, aiding Musical Directors in putting concert and contest programmes together.

Makes it easy

Pennine Music owner, Gavin Somerset told 4BR: "Once you've found the music you are looking for, you can either purchase it directly on-site, or if the work isn't available directly through us, the search engine will take you to the relevant publisher of that particular piece."

The new search engine aims to make it as easy as possible for people buying and searching for brass band music — for a particular piece, or just enquiring to see if there is an arrangement of a specific work available.

New search engine
