I’m an Africanist musicologist, educator, percussionist and vocalist. My primary research interests include Ugandan ritual music and popular music. My teaching interests are quite broad, but I am mainly intrigued by the dynamic interaction among art, its creators, and society at large, particularly with regard to ritual performance. I’m not generally in the habit of coining terms, but “artclectic” does seem to describe the kind of academic I am trying to be.
I also teach applied musical skills. Students in the Tallahassee area seeking private music lessons can contact me using the form below.
