I love teaching because what do you mean I'm using the first act of L'Orfeo as an excuse to talk about Tom Holland and Zendaya's wedding with my students on Tuesday.

Yesterday was our first discussion day in Grad Musicology Review and the students and I enjoyed thinking with this banger of a blog post by the late great Linda Shaver-Gleason. notanothermusichistorycliche.blogspot.com/2018/01/is-m...

Is Music a Universal Language?

Musicologist Linda Shaver-Gleason finds articles about classical music that contain debunked myths and cliché descriptions.

An artifact from my very first AMS conference! Back when I was a wee first year Master’s student still figuring out what musicology is. 🥹 That was such an exciting time, and I can’t wait to guide my own Master’s students through their first conference experiences!
