Projects
My work as an academic brings together areas of music analysis, musicology and composition. Projects I’m involved with range from purely analysis-based research to practice-led projects, whilst other work is more curatorial in nature. My teaching and research go hand in hand, so I am also active in developing projects based in HE pedagogy.
