Harmony Initiative

School of Music Harmony Initiative: A Stage For All Voices

As we know, Harmony is a term associated not only with musical structure, but also interpersonal congruity and collaboration with others. In pursuit of the utmost artistic adaptability and professional readiness, the School of Music Harmony Initiative advances creative and scholarly interests often overlooked in the music school setting, augmenting the work being done within our teaching studios, classrooms and on our concert stages. UF School of Music students train for fluency in a broad array of musical traditions beyond those already familiar—Mozart to Miles Davis; Beethoven to Brazilian Folk; Stravinsky to Stevie Wonder! Harmony with these traditions is critical to the development of the whole musician, performer or scholar. 

The Initiative encourages such things as: 

  • Music for study and performance 
  • Classroom teaching materials 
  • Scholarly research materials 
  • Support for special events 
  • Guest speakers, performers, composers, conductors 
  • Support for community engagement—public school performances, presentations, etc. 

Students, faculty and staff are strongly encouraged to submit proposals for Harmony Initiative support directly to the  School of Music director.
