The Study of Music 

The music Major, Minor in Music and SEAS Music Minor provide aspiring music scholars and/or musicians with a wide range of ways to think about music (theoretical, historical, cultural, compositional and performance-related) and to concentrate on the aspects of music that most interest them—from popular to world music to computer music. Our faculty engage in cultural studies (i.e. Ethnomusicology) and with current literary theory, connect with faculty of other departments (i.e. English, Philosophy, and Psychology), and are on the cutting edge of technological change. Students who have a passion for music and who have already developed basic skills in areas including performance, music history, composition or ethnography, should consider a major or minor in music.

Music Major & Minors

The Department of Music at Columbia University and Barnard College currently offers undergraduate courses and programs of study (Major in Music, Minor in Music and SEAS Music Minor) for the four following schools: Columbia College, Barnard College, General Studies and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Starting in the 2024 - 2025 academic year, the Concentration in Music will begin to be phased out. 

Music Performance Program

The Music Performance Program (MPP) is a division of the Department of Music which supports music making of the highest caliber, by creating learning and performance opportunities for undergraduate students, regardless of their academic major. While we do not offer degrees in music performance, we provide a high-quality offering to student musicians from across Columbia University that includes a wide array of for-credit Classical, Jazz, Pop/Contemporary and World Music ensembles and lessons in addition to the Columbia University Orchestra. The Minor in Music, new in the 2024 - 2025 academic year, offers a Pathway in Performance.

For information on auditions, registration and other aspects of performance not included below, please contact contact Magdalena Stern-Baczewska, Director of the Music Performance Program or visit mpp.music.columbia.edu

Students with questions about the Columbia-Juilliard programs should consult Special Programs in this Bulletin or mpp.music.columbia.edu/content/columbia-juilliard-program

Lessons

Individual instrument lessons listed under Courses of Instruction are 6 hours per semester and are 1 credit courses.  Voice lessons at Barnard College are 12 hours per semester and are 2 credit courses.  There is a $300 lesson fee per semester for each instrumental lesson course (note that Columbia College, General Studies & SEAS students who receive institutional need based grants from Columbia will receive a credit for the music lesson fees as part of their financial aid package) and $500 per semester for each Barnard voice lesson course. Auditions are only offered in the fall semester and courses are a one year commitment. Lessons are graded as pass/fail only.

Ensembles 

Participation in the following ensembles is open to all members of the University community. Students who wish to receive course credit may register for 1 point per semester for these courses as listed.  Ensembles receive letter grades only.

See Music Performance Program website for audition and activity information about all of the below. 

MasterClass 

Performance Seminar MasterClass (MPP UN1601) is open to classical musicians of any instrument(s) with the highest commitment to performance. Students are admitted via live audition during the first week of classes in the Fall. Each week, two students perform repertoire of their choice for the class and receive feedback from everyone present. The discussions, moderated by the director of the Music Performance Program, Dr. Magdalena Stern-Baczewska, are designed to provide constructive criticism to the performers and to pose questions related to performance from the perspectives of musical interpretation, career management, professional collaboration, and pedagogy.  

Practice Rooms

MUSI UN2010 ROCK. 3.00 points.

How did Elvis become the “King of Rock’n’Roll” instead of, for example, Chuck Berry? Who are LaVern Baker, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Etta James and what do they have to do with rock and roll? Why and how did “rock and roll” become “rock”? What are the relationships among rock, rhythm and blues, soul, and funk? What do classical music composers such as J.S. Bach, Modest Mussorgsky, and Philip Glass have to do with rock? How many times has rock “died”? What is rock music’s relevance both historically and today? This course will introduce you to popular music studies, a field of inquiry that draws scholars from a number of different disciplines, including musicology, sociology, philosophy, anthropology and literature. Examining rock music in an interdisciplinary way has opened the genre to increasing attention beyond musicological methodologies and assumptions. First, however, we must ask some fundamental questions: for instance, what, exactly, is popular music as well as, importantly, what differentiates rock music from other genres? Our definitions will reveal some of the assumptions we bring to any discussion of popular music. Throughout this semester, we will question our assumptions about rock music culture through an investigation into a series of keywords. Each keyword will focus our attention on various aspects of rock music in order to think through the complexities of what might, on the surface, seem self-evident. Terms such as “genre” or “the everyday” will be examined to help us gain critical analytical tools with which to assess various rock music productions, artists, and processes

MUSI UN3326 Genre in Popular Music. 3.00 points.

Genre greatly shapes the way music is created, produced, marketed, and consumed. And yet, genre is more than just a tool to categorize music: These groupings often reveal complex socio-cultural constructs that replicate cultural beliefs about identity and society. This course explores genre as a multifaceted concept within 20th- and 21st- century popular music in the U.S. by examining how these categories are socially and musically constructed, defined, and transformed throughout history. This course investigates how genre has changed from the time of vinyl records to streaming platforms through a blend of lectures, discussions, and listening sessions. We will explore how scholars across numerous disciplines conceive of genre in popular music through interdisciplinary readings and writing activities. This course promises to broaden your understanding of genre while enhancing your personal listening practice as we unravel the tapestry to reveal how genre shapes the musical world around us—all the while exploring if genre truly matters. There are no prerequisites, and a prior knowledge of music or ability to read Western music notation is not required

MUSI UN3400 TOPICS IN MUSIC & SOCIETY. 3.00 points.

Central to this course is the interrelationship between the constitution of a repertoire and the history of the construction of knowledge about it.

MUSI GU4108 Critical Approaches to Opera Studies. 3.00 points.

Why opera now? In what ways can a 400-year-old art form speak to the needs of contemporary society? This seminar provides an introduction to critical opera studies: we will analyze a broad range of lyric repertory (spanning from Monteverdi to Saariaho) while interrogating the debates these works have generated, both historically and in the present day. Topics to be considered include: operatic institutions and conventions; gender and voice; theories of “text” and liveness; modernist staging; the troubling legacies of Empire and exoticism; and the intersections of opera and multimedia (opera on/as film, opera in HD, site-specific opera). Wherever possible, this course will incorporate live performance in New York, engaging the Metropolitan Opera as well as institutions for “indie” opera and new music. While completion of Music Humanities is a suggested pre-requisite, this class welcomes interdisciplinary perspectives. Individual assignments may be tailored to accommodate student interests and backgrounds outside of the field of music

This interdisciplinary seminar approaches the songs of the troubadours as poetic and musical traditions. Together we will develop methods for analysis and interpretation, situate the songs within literary and social history, and address broad issues such as the nature of performance, the interplay between oral transmission and writing, the origins of troubadour poetry, fin’amor, and gender. Students will learn to analyze the poetic and musical structure of the songs and to transcribe and edit them from medieval manuscripts. Weekly assignments in Paden’s Introduction to Old Occitan will familiarize students with the language of the texts; one hour a week will be devoted texts using Paden’s book. Students from all departments are welcome

MUSI GU4308 Theory and Analysis of Jazz and Improvisation. 3.00 points.

What are the traditional definitions of jazz and how do they apply to improvised music in the twenty-first century? This course aims to communicate reliable methods and processes useful when dissecting and evaluating jazz performances and jazz compositions. Students will engage with traditional and fundamental jazz improvisation theory, then extrapolate new modalities reflective of the music happening today; including categorizing music on gradations from minimally to fully improvisational, tonal to harmonically abstract, rhythmically rigid to free, and sonically acoustic to fully synthesized. The class will explore and differentiate between “new complexity” classical compositions and virtuosic free form improvisation, compare US jazz to versions happening in other countries, and to recognize how world music influences affect improvisational tonal systems and improvisational traits

MUSI GU4418 Music and Fashion. 3.00 points.

Fashion has been integral to musical performance practices, and music continues to influence fashion. As a result, specific music genres and practitioners are linked to particular fashion trends and movements that represent their persona and appearance. In various cultures around the world, music and fashion play a significant role in marking identity, as practitioners’ cultural heritage impacts the choice of costumes they wear during performances in different spaces and times. Spread through live performances and mass-mediated technology, consumers and fans of these practitioners also adopt and integrate these fashion trends into their everyday styles. This class explores Some of the questions: How does fashion become a visual representation of specific music cultures, subcultures, genres, movements, and artists? How does fashion reflect, influence, inspire, evolve, spread, sustain, represent, affect, and communicate musical ideas? To answer these questions, musical fashion icons such as Beyoncé, Prince, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and David Bowie, and genres like Hip Hop, rock, Opera, K-pop, Afrobeats, and other global genres are examined through written scholarships, analysis of music performances and costumes, and their appearances in events and everyday life. This class explores how fashion trends influence sounds and vice versa, how they mark identity through music, embody symbolic sounds, and attract music consumers and fans who perpetuate these trends

MUSI GU4630 RECORDED SOUND. 3.00 points.

As music moves into the 21st century, we find ourselves surrounded by an ever-evolving landscape of technological capability. The world of music, and the music industry itself, is changing rapidly, and with that change comes the opening – and closing – of doorways of possibility. What does this shift mean for today’s practicing artist or composer? With big label recording studios signing and nurturing fewer and fewer artists, it seems certain that, today, musicians who want to record and distribute their music need to be able to do much of the recording and production work on their own. But where does one go to learn how to do this – to learn not only the “how to” part of music production, but the historical underpinnings and the development of the music production industry as well? How does one develop a comprehensive framework within which they can place their own artistic efforts? How does one learn to understand what they hear, re-create what they like and develop their own style? This class, “Recorded Sound,” aims to be the answer. It’s goal is to teach artists how to listen critically to music from across history and genres in order to identify the production techniques that they hear, and reproduce those elements using modern technology so they can be incorporated into the artist’s own musical works.

MUSI GU4810 Sound: Foundations. 3.00 points.

This foundational course in sound will begin by exploring how listening happens as well the tools necessary capture and present that listening. Through hands-on experimentation and demonstration, this seminar will examine both the technical and semiotic use of sound as amaterial within creative practice. Fundamental studio techniques will be explored including soldering for building cables, microphones, and loudspeakers. We will also explore the building blocks of analog and digital processes for the creation of sound, including microphones (types, patterns, and placement), basic synthesis, and techniques for recording, mixing, editing, and mastering. Through creative projects that implement these skills we will learn by doing. We will study theories of sound and listening that determine or are determined by technology, from the physical and social dimensions of the sounds we use to create, language (sound as a symbol or object), acoustics (sound in space), acousmatics (sound without a visual reference), and psycho-acoustics (sound as cognitive process). This class assumes no prior knowledge or technical skill. Some reading will be assigned and we will look and listen to a lot of work, students are encouraged to participate actively in discussions

MUSI UN2500 Women and Music. 3 points.

This course explores the relationship between women, music, and performance from a thematic and a cross-cultural perspective. Through the analysis of different case studies, we will investigate different topics from the perspective of ethnomusicology, cultural anthropology, and performance studies. A number of critical questions we will consider include: how does a particular gender ideology constructs and is constructed by musical aesthetics? What are some of the critical roles for women in performance?  What is the significance of gender in performances? What does it mean for women to have have and to be the voice? And how is a musical performance bound up with emotions?

MUSI GU4204 Composing for Dance. 3.00 points.

The course presents tools, techniques, methodologies, and concepts for composing original music for dance (both acoustic and electronic). Composers will develop a work for dance collaborating with choreographers, culminating in a public showing at the end of the semester. Weekly meetings will be used to discuss the unique challenges (both practical and aesthetic) that this type of interdisciplinary collaboration raises, and to troubleshoot potential solutions. Students will examine case studies of collaborative composer/choreographer pairs (especially from the last 75 years), as potential models for working via the study of artist statements, interviews, articles, videos, and classroom discussions with invited guests. No prior experience writing for dance is necessary. Basic familiarity with a digital audio workspace is preferable. For participants who don’t write music or work in sound, a research project either analyzing a composer/choreographer pairing or looking at a topic relating to music and dance more broadly will serve as an equivalent final project (resulting in an academic paper, a podcast, or the production of an educational video)

MUSI GU4215 Modular Sound Synthesis. 3.00 points.

Modular Sound Synthesis is a hands-on studio class that explores contemporary techniques for synthesizers both in studio practice and performance while framing them in the historical context in which they developed. The class approaches the fundamentals of sound and synthesis through the perspective of Columbia’s Computer Music Center: vintage function generators, suitcase reel-to-reel tape machines, prototype modules, custom devices; and the first programmable music synthesizer, the RCA Mark II. Students will learn to perform and compose on both hardware devices and software emulations, utilizing them as a creative tool for recording and live performance. Topics include oscillators, modulation, sequencers, voltage processing, wave shaping, filters, and LFOs. The course will engage in listening to both historical and contemporary examples to develop critical listening skills. This class is designed as a follow-up to Intro to Digital Music for undergraduates or graduate students interested in integrating modular synthesis within their artistic practice

From migration and collaborations to the rise of African artists in the era of advanced technology, the course uncovers how these genres transcend borders, inspire cross-cultural innovation, and influence the global music scene in contemporary times. Critical issues such as cultural appropriation, commodification, gender, health, and authenticity in the ever-evolving global music industry will be explored. By the end of the course, you will have a deep understanding of the complex dynamics driving the influence and dissemination of African music across the world

MUSI GU4630 RECORDED SOUND. 3.00 points.

As music moves into the 21st century, we find ourselves surrounded by an ever-evolving landscape of technological capability. The world of music, and the music industry itself, is changing rapidly, and with that change comes the opening – and closing – of doorways of possibility. What does this shift mean for today’s practicing artist or composer? With big label recording studios signing and nurturing fewer and fewer artists, it seems certain that, today, musicians who want to record and distribute their music need to be able to do much of the recording and production work on their own. But where does one go to learn how to do this – to learn not only the “how to” part of music production, but the historical underpinnings and the development of the music production industry as well? How does one develop a comprehensive framework within which they can place their own artistic efforts? How does one learn to understand what they hear, re-create what they like and develop their own style? This class, “Recorded Sound,” aims to be the answer. It’s goal is to teach artists how to listen critically to music from across history and genres in order to identify the production techniques that they hear, and reproduce those elements using modern technology so they can be incorporated into the artist’s own musical works.

FILM GU4048 Music, Sound and Image Theory. 3.00 points.

Some of the most exciting theoretical moving image work in recent years has centered on the problem of the acoustic sign in cinema and especially around the relation between image track and sound “track.” This course rethinks the history and theory of cinema from the point of view of sound: effects, dialogue, music. From cinematic sound recording and play-back technologies through Dolby sound enhancement and contemporary digital audio experiments. Revisiting basic theoretical concepts from the pov of sound: realism (sound perspective, dubbing), anti-realism (contrapuntal and dissonant effects), genre (the leitmotiv), perception (the synaesthetic effect). The silent to sound divide considered relative to the *19th* century Romanticism of the classical Hollywood score associated with the Viennese-trained Max Steiner to the scores of John Williams
