Naxos Music Library

Throughout the course you will be listening to recordings of the works you are studying.  These recordings are accessed through a secondary sight, "Naxos Music Library".  To access this resource you need a paid subscription and a password.  This access is granted to you through the course tuition.  The User name and Password for this resource will be given to  you at the beginning of the course.

In most cases, there will be a link given in the "Explore the Sound" portion of the unit that will take you directly to the Naxos website.  However, you may also access it here.

To access the Naxos Music Library Website, you will need the following information:
Username: gregorykchase@gmail.com
Password: Monteverdi
The password is case sensitive.


PLEASE NOTE: When you are done using Naxos, be sure you click on the LOG OUT button, rather than closing the window.  Otherwise, this will lock the Naxos account and I will need to contact them to reset the password.

Please find a Naxos Music Library tutorial below.
