This paper presents the results of a study that identifies the information needs of music students at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). A survey method using questionnaires were distributed to 150 respondents of music students, of which 130 (86.67 %) were returned. The findings revealed that the most needed music information by respondents are music theory, notation, aural skill, music recordings, music instrument, rhythms, music resources, harmony (chord), arranging (score) and music history. The methods used to get the information are by discussing with their friends/relative, talking to senior students, surfing internet, read book and advice from the expert in order to get the information. The findings will assist the librarians to identify the information required by music students and improve the information sources to fulfill these students’ information needs especially regarding the academic matters towards their academic development.
