Indiana University, Bloomington. School of Music. Early Music Institute

The Early Music Institute (EMI) was established as a part of the School of Music at Indiana University Bloomington in 1980, with Thomas Binkley serving as the founding director. The EMI was created to address the needs of students who wanted to pursue studies and increase their experience in professional performance of early music. The EMI focused on the study of performance on musical instruments from the medieval, renaissance, and baroque periods. Binkley established the Archive of Early Music Recordings in 1989, which was later renamed The Thomas Binkley Early Music Recordings Archive. Binkley felt an archive of sound recordings was necessary as a research tool in the field of musical performance and especially for the field of early music revival.
