Researcher Summary
As an artist much of my activity revolves around the production of creative works (musical compositions) and the research underpinning these works. My pedagogic interests lie in skill acquisition for musical composition and conducting, and how synaesthesia affects the work of creative people and young people's learning experiences. As an Honorary Antarctic Fellow I also research works by creative artists who have been to the Ice and how it affects their work practices.
I particularly enjoy working with young composers and conductors and sharing these observations when working with pre-service teachers in the School of Teacher Education at the College of Education, Health and Human Development.
