Core FacultyThe Core, Associated, and Studio Faculties of the CGU Music Department are a group of musicians of outstanding pedigree and achievement. They bring to their teaching significant professional accomplishments in the fields of musicology, composition, and performance.The Music Department is composed of faculty whose appointments are directly in the department and who provide the majority of seminar teaching and serve as the students' primary advisors. Robert Zappulla, Peter Boyer, and Nancy Van Deusen hold faculty appointments in the Music Department. Robert Zappulla, Chair, Music Department Peter Boyer, Music Nancy Van Deusen, Music Associated FacultyThe associated faculty of the Claremont Graduate University Department of Music comprise the music faculty at Pomona, Scripps, and Harvey Mudd Colleges, and the Claremont School of Theology, and they provide service to CGU Music in various ways, from teaching courses to guest lecturing, providing studio instruction, and serving on the advisory committees of CGU music students. Prospective CGU students are strongly urged to contact only the CGU Department of Music Secretary at sylvia.quintana@cgu.edu, and not members of the faculty, to discuss options regarding prospective instrumental/vocal teachers. Only requests for specific teacher assignments indicated in writing on the audiiton form will be considered valid, and CGU does not guarantee that such requests will be accommodated. Once made, teacher assignments can be changed only after the first semester - and before the second semester - of individual instruction. Exceptions to this policy may only be permitted by the department chair, who has final authority in such matters. Music students are permitted to take private lessons only from their assigned teachers (as distinct from other Claremont Colleges faculty) while enrolled in CGU's performance programs unless written permission to do otherwise first is obtained from the department chair, who may impose appropriate sanctions if this policy is breached.
