Expanded services have been offered to students learning music and their teachers in our reader's spaces since 1 October 2021.
We briefly summarize what are provided to students by Music Collection.
Music Collection is a special library for classical music, with an objective to provide professional and amateur musicians with special literature, as well as to promote music education and research, and to support music culture in general.

We are ready to answer all questions you have during the library walk (guided tour).
Required readings, music related books, journals
You can browse and borrow more than 15 000 music related books, several novelties are included; the pieces of this collection can be read not only in Hungarian but in some foreign languages such as English, German or French. There is a great bunch of exciting Hungarian and foreign music journals. In addition, required readings are also available in our collection.
Loan of music sheets
You can choose items of the collection of 50 000 music sheets. We have the most beautiful authentic Urtext editions, too.
Scores of schools of musical instruments, technical exercises, pieces of performances, musical scores of chamber music and vocal works, musical and piano scores can be borrowed.
You are welcomed to study and listen to music at us.
If you want to deal with something alone (you are absorbed in it) or to study with peers, the learning area of Music Collection offers friendly environment and pleasant atmosphere to everyone. You can take own laptop and smart devices, wifi access is available by registration and membership on the whole area of the library.
The audio repository covers more than 10 000 CDs and a collection of records (discothőque), focusing on mainly classical music and jazz. Please, bring your own headphone because of pandemic situation.
MUSIC SPACE
Venue to create, to be engrossed and inspired; the place where nobody disturbs you; it can be visited in pair or alone.
Our new workstations called Music Space offer not only creative softwares and databases but CD players and record players as well, so it is good for listening to music and watching films. You can listen to about 15 000 CDs and nearly 15 000 LPs (black records) in our library; the collection covers a wide range of genres including not only classical music and jazz but light music as well. Besides the use of creative softwares you can search in databases - it is really necessary when writing a thesis.
Here is the short list of services of Music Space:
In addition, online databases – the greatest music databases of the world - are available from home, by remote access, using your membership card.
Oxford Music Online is a full-text and continuously updated music lexicon in English, including items (entries) concerning classical music,
jazz as well as opera and pop music.
RILM is a partly full-text database containing more than 1 million items; it covers music themes, including several document types such as articles of music journals, books, bibliographies, dissertations (among others).
