Music at Northumbria University

Music was established as a discipline at Northumbria University in September 2018, and the first undergraduate students arrived mid-pandemic in academic year 2020/21. 

The Music Research Group brings together all those with an interest in Music at the University. Academic interests range from 16th-century music and performance practice to 19th-century opera, from the history of instruments to American popular music and sonification using IKO.

Situated within the Department of Humanities, Music provides a home for PhD students working on a wide variety of topics, including Harrison & Harrison organ builders, 16th-century music theory, music education, musical instruments in the English Renaissance court, and Scotland’s experimental music scene in the 1970s and 1980s,
