An upsurge in enrollment into postgraduate music courses in Nigeria in recent times, has resulted in an increasing number of research in different areas of music studies at the doctoral level. This trend has enhanced manpower development in Nigerian tertiary institutions. It is in this connection that the paper seeks to provide current data on titles of research conducted at the doctoral level in the field of Music in Nigeria in the last decade, (2011- 2021). This effort will help curtail the menace of recycling knowledge among scholars, which has become a cause for concern in recent years. Data were obtained through interviews, field investigation, the internet, and telephone contacts. The paper highlights some of the challenges plaguing the study of music in Nigeria at the postgraduate level, and thus provides relevant recommendations.
