The New York UniversitySteinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development (commonly referred to as NYUSteinhardt) is the education school of New York University. The school was founded as the School of Pedagogy in 1890. Prior to 2001, it was known as the NYU School of Education.
Located on NYU's founding campus in Greenwich Village, the Steinhardt School offers bachelor's, master's, advanced certificate, and doctoral programs in the fields of applied psychology, art, education, health, media, and music. NYU Steinhardt also offers several degree programs at NYU's Brooklyn campus.[3]
History
Founded in 1890 as the School of Pedagogy, the school soon added courses in psychology, counseling, art, and music. In 1910, it established the first United States university chair in experimental education. During the 1920s, enrollment increased from 990 to more than 9,500 students. The Education Building on Washington Square opened in 1930 and still serves as the School's home today.
The School was named the Steinhardt School of Education in 2001, in recognition of a $10 million donation, the largest it has ever received, from Michael and Judy Steinhardt. In 2007, the school was renamed the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development to reflect the diversity of its academic programs.

The Nordoff–Robbins approach to music therapy is a method developed to help children with psychological, physical, or developmental disabilities. It originated from the 17-year collaboration of Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins beginning in 1958, with early influences from Rudolph Steiner and anthroposophical philosophy and teachings. Nordoff–Robbins music therapy is based on the idea that everyone, regardless of their health or abilities, can benefit from music. It suggests that music as therapy can improve communication, support change, and help people live more resourcefully and creatively. Nordoff–Robbins music therapists practice globally, having graduated from training programs in various countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, and the Far East.
