Your Music Library,
Finally Cataloged
A free Google Sheets template for choir, band, and orchestra libraries — the columns that actually answer "what do we own, how many, and where is it?" Built by a working choir director.

What's in it
- One row per title — Title, Composer, Arranger, Voicing/Instrumentation
- The inventory columns — Copies Owned, Copies Available, Call Number, Shelf Location
- The programming columns — Genre, Key, Language, Last Performed, Tags
- A filled-in example row so every column is obvious in five seconds
Three tips before you start
1. Start with the shelf you can see from your desk. Momentum beats completeness — a rough catalog of everything beats a perfect catalog of one cabinet.
2. Count copies the first time through. An accurate copy count pays off immediately: you'll know exactly what you own, and budgeting and ordering for next season become simple.
3. Give shelves short codes. A1, B3 — put the code on the folder and in the Location column, and re-filing becomes mechanical.
