Professor of Music Education and CMEA Hall of Fame inductee James Austin, Professor of Double Bass Paul Erhard, Associate Professor of Trombone William Stanley, and Professor of Piano and former Dean Daniel Sher have dedicated their careers to inspiring up-and-coming musicians and educators. We reflect on their contributions, achievements and legacy with gratitude.

In 2013, Allan McMurray retired after 35 years as professor at the College of Music, directing our bands, developing the master’s and doctoral programs in instrumental conducting, and more. He was the college’s first to receive a lifetime appointment as a Distinguished Professor and he’s recently been awarded the University Medal by the CU Board of Regents.

The College of Music is pleased to announce the appointment of Sterling Tanner who will join our faculty this fall!

“When I think about the College of Music, I think about a vibrant learning environment and a vibrant space to grow,” says alumna Sarah Stoneback. “The College of Music provided me the skills and tools that I keep developing in pursuing my own teaching career.”

To support our students’ and our community’s musical development, the College of Music offers summer session courses and richly varied summer programming.

Silver and Gold Music Scholarship recipient Jennifer Kaphammer—a first-year student majoring in music technology—shares how the scholarship impacts and inspires her future in music and technology.
