music professor

Conservatory faculty member

A music professor is a faculty member who teaches music at a college or university.

The term covers those who teach music theory, history, composition, or performance.

Unlike grade school music teachers, professors typically hold advanced degrees and conduct scholarly research or maintain professional performance careers: She studied piano with a music professor at Juilliard.
