The Florida State University College of Music, located in Tallahassee, Florida, is one of sixteen colleges comprising the Florida State University (FSU). The College has been a fully accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Music since 1930. It currently has a student body of 650 undergraduate and 350 graduate students. The faculty of performing teachers and scholars numbers 85, with 225 graduate teaching and research assistants. Each year the College of Music offers more than 450 concerts and recitals featuring faculty members, students, guest artists, and ensembles of all sizes.[1] The College of Music at FSU has been named the single most influential institution since 1990 in terms of published research in The Journal of Research in Music Education (JRME) according to a study by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. That study found that more than 25 percent of the 418 articles published in JRME between 1990 and 2005 came from music educators who received their doctorates from FSU.[2] The Warren D. Allen Music Library includes an extensive collection of over 150,000 scores, sound recordings (17,000 albums and over 13,000 CDs), video recordings, books, periodicals, and microforms. The library’s special collections house many rare and unique items dating from as early as the 16th century.
