About

I am a musicologist and scholar-performer specializing in historical performance practices of classical music from the 14th through early19th centuries, as well as vernacular music in the American Southwest and the Louisiana Territory.
My research inerests include:

French and Spanish colonial and mission music in the Americas
Rhetoric and music in the 17th and 18th centuries
Music, gender, race, and empire
Improvisation traditions from the 15th through the 19th centuries
Transmission of music across cultural borders (Baroque Borderlands)
Historical performance practices/Arts Practice Research

For the 2017-18 academic year I taught undergraduate and graduate courses in musicology at Sam Houston State University.
