Overview

At Musicology from University of Rochester the courses are develop in music history to suit the curricular needs of students in all departments, from undergraduates to DMA candidates. We have also formed partnerships with natural constituencies throughout the school.

The “sister” department of Music Theory—a recognized leader in the field—offers a welcome complement to musicological study. Likewise, our faculty and students regularly collaborate with performers and composers in an environment of interdisciplinarity. Artists such as the aforementioned Paul O’Dette, Hans Davidsson (organ), and Robert D. Morris (composer) are officially affiliated with the department, while others connect on a more informal basis. Perhaps uniquely at Eastman, musicology students may enroll in studio lessons (instrumental, vocal, or conducting) as part of their elective credit.

Students at Musicology from Rochester University are expected to:

teach, or assist in teaching, in the music history curriculum for at least two years during their enrollment at Eastman.

receive a teaching stipend.

have important teaching experience, professional development, and faculty mentoring around teaching.
