Cornell's Department of Music <https://music.cornell.edu/>, located within
the College of Arts and Sciences <https://as.cornell.edu/>, features a
broad range of scholars, composers, and performers working in all areas of
music studies, often in close collaboration with (and even
cross-appointments to) other departments, programs, and centers across the
university: Performance and Media Arts, American Studies, Latina/o Studies,
Africana Studies, Science and Technology Studies, Media Studies,
Psychology, and much more. Students in the College of Arts and Science are
diverse (majority non-white and female) and engaged in research and music
programming that reflects this diversity. Students and faculty alike can
avail themselves of a wide range of university resources
<https://diversity.cornell.edu/> to support our shared commitment to
diversity and inclusiveness. In addition to our music majors and minors,
many students active in the department come from other colleges at the
university (engineering, computer science, etc.). Our internationally
renowned graduate program offers a PhD in Music and Sound Studies
<https://music.cornell.edu/graduate-program-music-and-sound-studies>,
encompassing ethnomusicology, music theory, historical musicology, and
sound studies, as well as DMA programs in Composition
<https://music.cornell.edu/graduate-program-composition> and Performance
Practice (Keyboard Studies)
<https://music.cornell.edu/graduate-program-keyboard-studies>; faculty and
graduate students regularly collaborate on research projects (Cornell
ReSounds <https://www.cornellresounds.org/>) and centers (Cornell Center
for Historical Keyboards <https://www.historicalkeyboards.org/>) that that
blend performance and scholarship. The department's broad-based theory
curriculum, framed as "materials and techniques
<https://music.cornell.edu/general-overview-music-courses>," encompasses a
wide range of musical traditions, styles, and modalities.

Andrew Hicks
