Eastman Studies in Music is a well-established endeavour committed to publishing quality titles in music scholarship. The University of Rochester Press launched the Eastman Studies in Music series in May 1994 with the publication of its first title-a revised edition in hardback and paperback of The Poetic Debussy: A Collection of His Song Texts and Selected Letters, by Margaret G. Cobb.

The University of Rochester Press has published some thirty titles to date. Topics of volumes in print include musicology, broadly defined to include ethnomusicology, music theory, and other specialties.
