Todd Sullivan is Professor and Director of the School of Music at Northern Arizona University. He holds a Ph.D. in musicology and an M.M. in music history and literature from Northwestern University, and a B.M. in music education from Denison University. Before joining the NAU School of Music in 2006, he taught at Indiana State University (where he also served as Chairman of the Department of Music), Northwestern University, and DePaul University. His publications and paper presentations reflect a variety of research areas: Renaissance music, opera, French Baroque dance, and American popular music.

Annually, he authors several hundred annotations, liner notes, and educational/outreach materials. He remains active as an early-music performer (voice, wind instruments), choral conductor, and church musician. A passionate teacher, he received the Indiana State University College of Arts and Sciences Education Excellence Award in 2000 and was nominated twice for the Distinguished Teaching Award at Northwestern University. He has served the College Music Society in several capacities, including Board Member for Musicology, chair of the Committee on Books and Monographs, member of the Nominations Committee and Committee on Academic Leadership and Administration.
