Research

My work explores how world-building and storytelling can function as creative frameworks for educational design. Through these approaches, I investigate how educators can integrate diverse pedagogical tools and create coherent musical worlds that respond to the needs of diverse learners.

​

My main areas of work are:
 

  • Supporting educators without specialized musical training.

  • Creating frameworks for multicultural musical spaces.

  • Integrating diverse pedagogical tools within interdisciplinary approaches.

Interested in exploring this approach with your institution or students?

I work with educators and institutions to design research-informed musical learning experiences shaped by imagination, play, and the needs of diverse learners.

I welcome conversations with educators, students, institutions, researchers and anybody interested in creative approaches for inclusive music education!
