Supervision

  Dissertation · Project Advising · Practice-Led Research · Research Methods

   

  I support undergraduate and postgraduate music students in developing rigorous, assessable, and practice-led research projects. My supervision and research-support work focuses on research-question development, methodology, evidence design, literature and contextual framing, reflective writing, practice-led documentation, and assessment-facing articulation in higher music education.

• ​

• This work draws on my experience as a higher music education lecturer, dissertation adviser, thesis adviser, practice-led researcher, and curriculum and assessment specialist across contemporary music, performance, pedagogy, ensemble practice, and creative higher education.

• ​

• Areas of Supervision

• ​​

• I supervise and support projects across practice-led and practice-based music research, undergraduate dissertation and BMus research projects, MA/MMus performance and pedagogy projects, musical judgement, aural fluency, ensemble pedagogy and cognition, rehearsal practice, rhythm and groove studies, assessment validity, reflective practice, curriculum design, and contemporary higher music education.

• Typical Project Areas

• Recent and current supervised or advised project areas include jazz drum-set language, walking bass and harmonic substitution, marimba concerto performance across ensemble contexts, guqin and erhu performance analysis, popular singing and vocal texture, J-Pop Rock harmony and modulation, rehearsal efficiency, AI and music-college teaching management, traditional and modern music teaching methods, aural fluency, rhythm/groove pedagogy, and practice-led documentation for performers and composers.
