The Rose, Jules R., and Stanford S. Setnor School of Music is one of five academic units of the Syracuse University College of Visual and Performing Arts. Housed primarily in Crouse College, Syracuse University, the Setnor School educates composers, performers, music teachers, scholars, and industry professionals.

The Syracuse University Music Department was founded in 1887, making Syracuse one of the first universities in the country to grant four-year degrees in music (both in music and in music theory). The school was also a founding member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) and has the first accredited Music Industry program in the country (B.M. in Music Industry).

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or music:

    “It’s a rare parent who can see his or her child clearly and objectively. At a school board meeting I attended . . . the only definition of a gifted child on which everyone in the audience could agree was “mine.””
    —Jane Adams (20th century)

    “Have you ever been up in your plane at night, alone, somewhere, 20,000 feet above the ocean?... Did you ever hear music up there?... It’s the music a man’s spirit sings to his heart, when the earth’s far away and there isn’t any more fear. It’s the high, fine, beautiful sound of an earth-bound creature who grew wings and flew up high and looked straight into the face of the future. And caught, just for an instant, the unbelievable vision of a free man in a free world.”
    —Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
