Presentations

The presentations listed below include ninety five (95) research presentations & best-practice presentations with international, national, regional, state, and local audiences. According to Google Scholar, my works have received over 200 citations. 

Beyond sharing original research in field of music education, I also need to be able to provide best-practice presentations to support the professional development of teachers in North America and across the world. My ability to support preservice teachers and inservice teachers build their pedagogical content knowledge is reflected in these presentations. Although these types of presentations many be discounted in other fields, in education fields, these presentations are extremely important ways to support the profession, and they attract students to the undergraduate and graduate degrees at SUNY Fredonia.
