Ju-Yong Ha is an assistant professor of music in Hillyer College's Humanities Department. His courses include Music Perspectives and World Music Survey.

"I have really enjoyed teaching my students in Hillyer," says Ha. "I am happy to see the changes that develop in their thinking as they work with the ideas and topics of the course. The small class size means that my students and I can engage in unique activities. They respond to creative projects, and I find that I learn so much from them."

Ha's research interests include:

  • Contemporary Composition
  • Music and Gender
  • Traditional Korean music, especially sanjo and pansori
  • Improvisation
  • Music and Spirituality
  • K-Pop
  • Asian Diaspora and performing arts
