Andrew Warshaw

Andrew Warshaw is Associate Professor of Music and Dance at Marymount Manhattan College, where he also serves as Music Director in the Department of Dance and Coordinator of the Music Minor. He holds a B.A. from Wesleyan University and an M.F.A. from New York University.

His research lies at the intersection of music, movement, and cognition, focusing on how vertebrate locomotion influences musical structure and perception. Key areas include evolutionary music theory, music and medicine, and embodied composition. He has presented and published on locomotion-encoded musical patterns, proposing frameworks that link biological movement to musical organization.

His recent publications reveal a consistent interdisciplinary trajectory, connecting music with cognitive science, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology. These works explore self-organizing musical systems, clinical applications, and theoretical models grounded in human and animal movement.

While no scientific awards are listed, his scholarly contributions reflect a deep engagement with both artistic and scientific communities. He advises on the music minor and integrates research into performance and pedagogy.

There is no mention of formal advisees or laboratory affiliations, but his work suggests collaborative potential across music, dance, and medical research domains.
