Award-Winning Study on Rhythmic Literacy

In 2022, I spearheaded a study to explore the experiences of music educators with students who have consistent difficulty deciphering (reading and processing) rhythms at the university level in collaboration with Simon Holoweiko (Associate Director of Bands, LSU), Jason Bowers (Instructor of Music Education, LSU), and Shannon McDonald (Adjunct Professor of Music, Texas Woman’s University). This study has been presented at the 2022 Louisiana Music Educators Association Conference, the 2022 Midwest Clinic, the 2023 Texas Music Educators Association Clinic Convention, the 2023 ClarinetFest, the 2023 International Scientific and Artistic Conference at the Penderecki Academy of Music in Poland, the University of North Texas, Baylor University, Texas Christian University and Louisiana State University. This study also won first place at the 2023 International Clarinet Association Research Competition.
