About Time

Well, it’s about time . . .

I haven’t posted new material (in the blog) on my website since 2016. Time flies . . .

Things have been busy and it’s time for an update. I have recently been working through data collected from a survey study of steel band directors regarding curriculum and pedagogy. I hope to get the article submitted for publication in coming months. I presented a preliminary report on the findings at a poster session at the Michigan Music Conference in January 2024.

In the next few days, I’m headed to Laborie, St. Lucia to work on a biography project on the great steelpan composer / performer, Andy Narell. I hope to post some pictures and reflections from this trip over the next couple of weeks. I’m deeply honored and excited to take these next steps with my research agenda and sharing the story of steelpan and its artists.
