The
Center for Music Research (CMR) at Florida State
University was founded in 1980 to bring together
the already strong research component of the School
of Music with its newly created computer facilities.
The purpose of the Center is to create effective
research environments for the pursuit of music scholarship
in all modes of inquiry for both students and faculty.
CMR exists to foster research and publication and
provides a support system that attempts to blend
the best human and musical characteristics of the
music researcher and teacher with the best of technology.
The following CMR activities are supported by the
School of Music at Florida State University: graduate
education, faculty and student research, post-doctoral
study, and occasional workshops, symposia, and visiting
scholars. The
