Nigel Nettheim

Nigel Nettheim’s early work was in mathematical statistics, with a PhD from Stanford University in 1966. He changed careers by studying music full-time at the Royal Conservatory of Music, Toronto, Canada for the whole of the 1970s. He then joined the Music Research Centre at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, 1980 to 1986. Further studies in musicology resulted in a PhD from the University of New South Wales in 2001. He then took a position as adjunct research fellow at the MARCS Institute, Western Sydney University, which he still holds today. He has published widely in musicology, mostly with an analytical leaning and including an annotated translation of a book by the early musicologist Gustav Becking.
