Hello! I’m Samuel Teeple–you can call me Professor Teeple or Prof T–I go by the pronouns he/him, and I’ll be heading this section of MUSIC 1. In addition to teaching at Queens College, I’m also working toward my PhD in Historical Musicology at the CUNY Graduate Center. Musicologists focus on the academic study of music rather than composing, performing, or other hands-on musical activities (though many of us still engage in those activities as well). Most of our research methods are focused on interpreting printed sources, analyzing music, and applying different theoretical approaches to music like economics, feminism, or technology studies. Musicologists are also responsible for teaching courses like music history and introduction to music. Besides teaching this course, I’m also researching the contribution of Jewish Berlin to German music in the early nineteenth century.

You can contact me at steeple@gradcenter.cuny.edu. I try to respond to all emails within 48 hours. If you don’t get a response by then, please send me a reminder and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

I host office hours via Zoom by appointment and Mondays and Wednesdays 4pm – 5:30pm. Office hours give you the chance to ask questions about the course material, specific assignments, how to do research, how to improve your writing, etc. To set up an appointment, send me an email with your availability and the topic(s) you’d like to discuss. Once I confirm our meeting time, you can begin our scheduled appointment by opening the Zoom invitation included below.

Here’s to a great semester!
