They have taught at such universities and schools of music throughout the United States as Indiana University, Louisiana State University, McGill University, Oklahoma City University, Rutgers University, Sam Houston State University, the State University of New York, and the Universities of Chicago, Michigan, Maryland, and North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The Music Theory Faculty have presented national and international papers at the Society for Music Theory, the American Musicological Society, the International Mozart Congress and the International 18th Century Society, to name a few.
The tradition of excellence at the Peabody Conservatory of Music in performance and composition is balanced by musically oriented research, a dedication to the teaching of music theory and student mentoring.
Several faculty are published composers and authors of books and articles in respected music theory journals on the subject of pedagogy of music theory and other areas of music theory research (such as the Oxford University Press, Schirmer Music Books, Wadsworth, Music Theory Spectrum, the Journal of Music Theory Pedagogy, Indiana Theory Review, Bach Jahrbuch, Mozart Jahrbuch).
