Society for Music Theory

The Society for Music Theory is a professional organization dedicated to the study and understanding of music through scholarly research, analysis, and education. It brings together musicians, scholars, and educators to explore how music works—the structures, history, and cultural contexts. The society promotes academic work, publishes journals, hosts conferences, and supports the development of music theorists. Its goal is to deepen knowledge of music and foster communication among those interested in understanding its complexities across different styles and periods.
