Welcome to
Da Capo Music
Australia’s only second-hand sheet music store.
Da Capo Music is Australia’s only dedicated second-hand music bookshop – now online!
Please note – we have had to cease operating our online shop, as it has become no longer viable to maintain. Apologies for any inconvenience this causes. While we don’t keep a catalogue of our stock, we are still happy to search on our shelves for specific items for you! Send your search queries to music@dacapo.com.au.
We are offering FREE postage for all orders over $50 to anywhere in Australia!
Updates will be posted on our Facebook page, so please ‘like’ and follow the Da Capo Music page if you would like to stay in contact.
Here’s the silver lining of social distancing for musicians —we can still make lots of music! What better time to practise, improve, and learn new repertoire? Many people are discovering the fun of connecting with others by making music online, by streaming recitals, or producing collaborative multi-tracked works!

If you live on the route between Berowra/Hornsby and Glebe you can even organise a contact-free pick up from your home.

Our Stock
Our sheet music sections are sorted by instrument, with shelves devoted to violin, viola, cello, clarinet, flute, oboe, saxophone, piano, organ, and many more! Most of these sections are further divided into concertos, sonatas, studies, etc. We also have sections for choral scores, full scores, mini (study) scores, vocal music, folk music, method books, popular songbooks, and fake books, as well as a selection of antiquarian sheets.
We have a wide range of music books too: composer biographies, books on jazz, pop and classical history, ethnomusicology, music therapy, music theory and analysis, instrumental technique, and conducting, to name a few!
We also stock a large number of vinyl records, covering jazz, rock/pop, and many truly iconic classical recordings. Have a browse through our collection if you want to experience your favourite music in its original recorded format.
If you have any questions about our stock, please don’t hesitate to email us!
