Research Statement

Research is paramount to enhanced pedagogy and performance practice of faculty and subsequently, students. The formation of new ideas and the practical application of these processes can have a profound affect on the course of action in current performance practice as well as future generation's development as musicians in performance and education.

Topic 1: Cloning is a phenomenon dealing with neuroplasticity involving brain symmetry and proposed anatomical connections through corpus callosum, referred to as unilateral transfer by motor control physiologists. Its’ application to percussion comes about in response to strength training of one limb or homologous muscle, shown to be due to neural, rather than muscular adaptations. I first presented my research on “cloning” as a pedagogical technique to enhanced learning and performance practice at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention (PASIC) and subsequently at prominent universities across the country, where this technique has been utilized with much success. Further research in this area includes increased data on the implementation (before and after) of cloning into percussion as well as increased brain mapping during the actual application of this process.

Topic 2: Infusion of non-western musical traditions and western percussion curriculum methodologies.
