At BU School of Music, research matters!<\/h3>\n

As artist-educators, we actively engage the world of the mind as we approach and create new pieces of art, as we curate historical and contemporary compositions, as we teach and model pedagogy, and as we produce fresh and innovative scholarship.<\/p>\n

Our research productivity underscores that we are creative thinkers\u2014we are involved in cutting-edge publications, we produce award-winning recordings, we concertize on the world\u2019s leading stages, we edit top-tier journals, we compose works for great artists, and we are leaders in our academic disciplines.<\/p>\n

Our students are prepared to launch into this world of ideas with their research, whether a dissertation, a thesis, a recital, a capstone project, paper, composition, or teaching observations.<\/p>\n

In the School of Music, we believe that music is a process of engagement in which we invest as thinkers, makers, and doers. For us, research matters simply because… music matters!<\/p>\n
