Florida State University's Ethnomusicology program provides a dynamic and rigorous academic setting where distinguished faculty collaborate closely with graduate students. This partnership offers comprehensive training in research, teaching, performance, and essential professional skills for success in the field. The curriculum covers diverse global musical traditions—both modern and historical—with specialized expertise in African and African diasporic music, Caribbean sounds, Southeast Asian (particularly Indonesian) music, Middle Eastern melodies, and Central Asian rhythms. FSU leads in medical ethnomusicology research while also emphasizing key theoretical areas including: music's role in human rights, film soundtracks, intersections of music with race/gender/ethnicity, sacred musical practices, cultural evolution of music, children's musical development, therapeutic applications for autism, worldwide pop music, jazz studies, improvisational techniques, multicultural pedagogy, music as cultural identity and protest, plus cognitive, historical, and practical approaches to ethnomusicology.
