Welcome to the Music Department!
This is the home page of the William Paterson University Music Department. We are located in the rolling hills of suburban Wayne, New Jersey, only 20 miles west of New York City. Our students benefit from a distinguished faculty chosen from top-ranking artists in the profession. Our Midday Concert Series, Sunday Jazz Room Series, and New Music Series provide rich and varied music performances on an ongoing basis to our students and the community at large. Facilities include the one-thousand-seat Shea Auditorium, seventeen excellent grand pianos including Steinways, Bechsteins, and a Bösendorfer, a fully equipped multitrack recording studio and our state-of-the-art Center for ElectroAcoustic Music with eight computer/MIDI/keyboard work stations and an isolation room for digital sampling of acoustic instruments.
