His B.M. degree in composition and M.M. in musicology were earned at the University of North Texas, and he completed the Ph.D. in historical musicology at the University of Maryland, where he also directed the early music ensembles for four years.

He has presented his research at national and regional meetings of the American Musicological Society, the Society for Seventeenth-Century Music, the International Biennial Baroque Conference and at symposia in Versailles and Limoges, France.
Cheney’s articles on French Baroque music have appeared in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (revised edition), The Journal of the Viola da Gamba Society of America, Consort: European Journal of Early Music and most recently in A Viola da Gamba Miscellanea. He also has published editions of 17th- and 18th-century chamber music for Éditions Minkoff and Dovehouse Editions. A recipient of the Pomeroy Prize for contributions to early music at the University of Maryland as well as a one-year Chateaubriand Grant from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cheney has served since 1999 as editor of The Journal of the Viola da Gamba Society of America. He has performed on viola da gamba, baroque cello, vielle and mandolin with the Smithsonian Chamber Players, Orchestra of the 17th Century, Maryland Handel Festival, the Bach Sinfonia, the Peabody Renaissance Ensemble and many others.
