About the program

We in the Department of Music at Hunter College are committed to providing the highest quality musical instruction to our students in the areas of performance, composition, education, musicology, ethnomusicology, and theory. Through our varied courses and numerous performances, the department seeks to enrich the musical lives of not only Hunter students, but all members of the Hunter community. Through our world-class faculty—who teach in one-on-one or small-class settings and who often bring in distinguished artists to Hunter to teach, lecture, or perform—we offer an outstanding musical education at a reasonable price. By drawing on our central in location in Manhattan, we strive to engage students in the musical vibrancy of our great city. In our performance ensembles and classes we teach students listening and analytical skills, historical context, performance practice and technique, and critical thinking. We also provide vital services to Hunter College via our many introductory music courses and our large performing ensembles.
