About Joan

Joan Huguet serves as Chair and Associate Professor of Music at Knox College, a position she has held since joining the faculty in 2016. She earned her Ph.D. in Music Theory from the University of Rochester's Eastman School of Music in 2015, an M.A. in Music Theory from McGill University's Schulich School of Music in 2010, and a B.A. in Music and French Literature from Rhodes College in 2008. In 2022, Huguet received tenure and promotion to Associate Professor. She has played a key role in redeveloping the music curriculum, serving on the curriculum committee and as faculty secretary. Her teaching portfolio includes core courses in the music theory sequence, 19th-century European common-practice music traditions, and specialized classes on Broadway musicals. Huguet approaches music theory as a language to learn, a puzzle to solve, and an art form, fostering appreciation for diverse human musical expressions across time periods, genres, and cultures. Her teaching interests span musical form, Schenkerian analysis, opera analysis, chromatic harmony, history of music theory, music theory in the liberal arts, and model composition.
