Library databases have access to articles from journals, magazines, and newspapers. Every database has different content. This makes it important to use a database that has content on the subject you are researching. In addition, be sure to search in more than one database to find information.
Check out these recommended databases to get started:
Includes Grove Music Online (featuring the full text and updates of The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians 2nd ed., The New Grove Dictionary of Opera, and The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz, 2nd Ed), The Oxford Dictionary of Music, and The Oxford Companion to Music.
