At the nerve center of practice and theory, the Film Scoring program at NYU's Steinhardt School offers a unique program of study for the M.M. degree. The curriculum in Film Scoring includes intensive professional training integrally linked to the Music Composition and Music Technology programs, thus offering a vast range of artistic and academic training and unmatched possibilities for individual exploration and development. The composition faculty, having contributed to well over 100 feature films and garnering numerous Guggenheim Fellowships, includes Ira Newborn, Michael Patterson, David Spear, Marc Consoli and Julia Wolfe. Industry guests routinely present seminars and have included Leonard Rosenmann (Rebel Without a Cause), Buddy Baker (The Fox and the Hound), David Shire (Taking of Pelham 1-2-3), and Marco Beltrami (Terminator 3).

The annual "NYU/ASCAP Foundation Film Scoring Workshops in memory of Buddy Baker" includes core faculty member Mark Snow (X-Files). In collaboration with the NYU Tisch School of the Arts Film School, film scores by our students have been performed with live orchestra at Lincoln Center and the Tribeca Film Festival -- heralded by the press, "...and the other discovery last night was the artistry of the NYU Chamber Orchestra and the boon to music and film scholarship that is NYU Film Scoring Program."  In addition to maintaining strong ties to the film industry, Ron Sadoff and renowned conductor and musicologist Gillian B. Anderson, serve as co-directors of the East Coast branch of the Film Music Society. The Department of Music and Performing Arts Professions also sponsors the University of Illinois Press' journal and conference Music and the Moving Image. Gillian B. Anderson and Ron Sadoff serve as the journal's founders and co-editors.
