Research Talks, Panels, and Invited Lectures

Dr Eugene Seow is a Singapore-based higher music education lecturer and practice-led researcher whose work examines musical judgement, aural fluency, ensemble pedagogy and cognition, curriculum design, assessment validity, and artistic research in contemporary music education.

 

His talks and invited sessions draw on teaching, supervision, research, and professional practice across higher music education, ensemble learning, rhythm-section pedagogy, curriculum, assessment, and practice-led inquiry. He lectures across LASALLE College of the Arts, the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, and Singapore Raffles Music College, with dissertation and research supervision at LASALLE and SRMC. He also works with National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University student music communities in ensemble, musicianship, and guest-teaching contexts.

​

His speaking and facilitation work is suitable for universities, conservatoires, arts institutions, conferences, professional learning programmes, research seminars, and practice-led creative education settings. Sessions can be delivered as invited lectures, research talks, panel contributions, workshops, webinars, or tailored institutional seminars
