Since 1968, the department has participated in a Joint Music Program (JMP) with the Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM). Through our JMP, students enjoy the advantages of a top research university while receiving conservatory-level training in theory and performance. They also benefit from our active collaborations with the Cleveland Orchestra, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Music Settlement, and other local cultural and educational institutions.
The mission of the Case Western Reserve University Department of Music is to:
Foster preeminent research, creative endeavor, and learning.
Support students in developing their musical skills and knowledge in the context of a liberal arts education; equip students to become proactive scholar-practitioners in music education; and promote the academic education of students from the Cleveland Institute of Music, through the Joint Music Program.
Provide local, regional, national, and international leadership in the fields of musicology, historical performance practice, and music education, and help prepare the next generation of leaders in these fields.
Encourage service to the institution and related academic disciplines, participation in faculty governance, and the promotion of open communication and shared policy-making.
