In 1968, the Department merged with the New York College of Music, the oldest conservatory of music in New York City.

Faculty and students share a spirit of openness and innovation encouraging the pursuit of high artistic goals. Department interests cross program boundaries, bringing together performers, educators, composers, choreographers, directors, actors, librettists, and filmmakers to create innovative, collaborative projects often reviewed by the New York media. Music education majors study with a world-renowned academic faculty and New York’s finest classical, jazz, and world music performers. Distinguished Department alumni include: Wayne Shorter, Tony Award winners Cy Coleman and Betty Comden, composer and conductor Tania Leon, music technologist Enoch Light, and Academy Award, Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner John Patrick Shanley.
