Music Education Research
2021-2022 - Are YOU on the List? An Investigation and Comparison into the Representation, Diversity and Inclusion of State Band Festival Lists.
An investigation into the state-wide band festival lists from different regions of the United States studying the diversity, equity and inclusion of the composers listed therein. This research highlights steps music educators can take to improve the student experience through the literature music educator’s program for their students. This research also studies the ways music educators can examine the experience students enjoy in their music program through their student’s eyes.
2019-2020 - Through the Looking Glass: Measuring Student Experiences in High School Band
An investigation into the student high school band experience from an artistic and educational perspective. The research studies the music education experience through the lens of the participating student, investigating the student interpretation/understanding of those artistic and curricular high school band experiences to notions of regional norms and expectations for instrumental music education, drawing connections to pre-service, and current music educators.
2017 - Inspired Artistry: The Values of High School Band Directors
An investigation into the values, beliefs, and philosophy of practicing high school band
directors, how those values are formed and shaped, and how those values inform artistic, and
curricular decisions for participating students as made by pre-service, and current music educators.
