Musicology Faculty

My research focuses on 18th-century keyboard music in performance, and I have published and presented on musical portraiture in keyboard works by Domenico Scarlatti and François Couperin, and on sympathetic collaborative accompaniment in C. P. E. Bach.

I am an ethnomusicologist with research interests in Balinese gamelan music and dance, traditional music pedagogy, the intersection of gender and performance, and ecomusicology.

In July of 2025, I became the Dean of the Lawrence Conservatory of Music. What excites me the most about Lawrence is the incredible creativity and passion of our faculty and the student experience they create.

I teach the core musicology sequence MUCO 211-212 (Introduction to Musicologies) and two 100-level musicology courses: Big Works, Big Questions and History of Popular Music in the United States.
