哈佛大学的人类音乐学提供有关人种学方法的深入培训，以及与在文化背景下研究任何活音乐传统有关的理论，问题和方法的研究。在第二年学习结束时，学生可以选择专业的主要和次要领域，这些领域可以按地区（例如土耳其或西非音乐），音乐风格（例如爵士乐或流行音乐）或主题或理论方法（生物学或美学）。哈佛计划在从地中海延伸至印度，非洲和非洲侨民以及美国城市的地区具有特殊优势。在音乐系和哈佛各个学科的批判理论领域都有出色的资源。在民族音乐学和其他音乐系课程中，鼓励在历史音乐学，音乐理论，作曲以及创作实践和批判性研究中进行合作。作
Ethnomusicology at Harvard offers intensive training in ethnographic method as well as study of theories, problems, and approaches relevant to the study of any living musical tradition in its cultural setting. By the end of the second year of study, students select primary and secondary fields of specialization, which may be defined by region (for example, Turkish or West African music), by musical styles (such as jazz or popular music), or by topic or theoretical approach (organology or aesthetics). The Harvard program has particular strengths in regions stretching from the Mediterranean to India, in Africa and African diasporas, and in urban America. There are excellent resources both in the music department and across the disciplines at Harvard in critical theory. Collaborations are encouraged among ethnomusicology and other music department programs in historical musicology, music theory, composition, and creative practice and critical study. Six to eight ethnomusicology courses-four seminars and four proseminars or undergraduate classes-are offered each year as part of the regular curriculum. Graduate seminars explore ethnomusicological methods and theories as they are applied to the study of music, as well as a wide range of issues and materials, while proseminars focus on music styles or distinctive musical settings. An important aspect of the Harvard ethnomusicology program is that students receive training in Western music and its history as well as exposure to the methods and theories of historical musicology and music theory. A vital aspect of ethnomusicological training at Harvard is exposure to other disciplines, with particular emphasis upon anthropology, history, area studies, linguistic training, and theoretical frameworks related to the student's specialization.
