At Canton Music Academy, we accept gently used sheet music and music books and redistribute them to our students and families—no donation forms or tax receipts required. We’re not a nonprofit, but we believe in keeping valuable resources in the hands of those who can use them.

We accept a wide range of printed music materials, including:
- Beginner piano method books
- Classical piano and vocal scores
- Sheet music for guitar, drums, and orchestral instruments
- Jazz, pop, and Broadway selections
