Music Minor

Non-Steinhardt music majors can complete a music minor in Steinhardt’s Department of Music and Performing Arts. The music minor consists of eight “core” courses – two courses each in (1) Music Theory, (2) Music History, (3) Aural Comprehension, and (4) Keyboard Harmony and Improvisation – as well as other music academic courses and private lessons and participation in ensembles.

However, Steinhardt does not offer program-specific minors. Consequently, we do not offer a “minor” in music performance, music composition, music business, music technology, or music education.

Please Note: We no longer offer MIDI I MPATE-UE 1007. Instead we offer:

MPATE-GE 2590 - Introduction to Music Technology / Non-Majors
Meetings (Spring 2009): 6:45-8:25pm Thursdays, 8th Floor, Education Building
Instructor: Langdon Crawford
3 credits
Note that this will only be available to seniors since it is a 2000 level course.


Please feel free to contact our department’s coordinator of the music minor, Dr. Paul Horan at pgh1@nyu.edu or 212-998-5771.
