Educational music

As a graduate student, I wrote nerdy STEM songs for self-amusement. When I began postdoctoral teaching, I threw in an occasional song, and my students responded positively. In subsequent years, my colleagues and I worked to define the conditions under which content-rich music might be most helpful for teaching and learning.

Here are two representative papers -- one on student science songwriting, and one on students' reactions to instructor-provided songs. (Listings of additional papers can be found in my CV.)

And here are two representative "video posters" about educational uses of STEM songs.
