Pedagogical Materials for Extended Clarinet Techniques

In my doctoral dissertation, Cultivating the Contemporary Clarinetist: Pedagogical Materials for Extended Clarinet Techniques (2021), I created a compendium of nearly fifty extant resources on extended clarinet techniques, and composed eighty original exercises covering multiphonics, microtones, and air sounds. This document offers accessible pedagogical materials that function as a gateway to learning contemporary clarinet techniques and literature.

Multimodality and the 21st Century Concerto

Although many researchers have studied the relationship between music and multimodality, particularly in the context of music education and human-computer interaction in performance, much less attention has been given to the collaborative possibilities of multimodal works involving ensemble. Examining the extant body of literature of concerti or concerto-type works for soloist(s), ensemble, and other modes reveals 1) how different modes are being utilized in performance, 2) why composers/creators choose to use different modes to communicate, and 3) why these modes and choices surrounding them matter in a collaborative context.

The result from my research is a working catalog of post-2000 multimodal concerto-type compositions for solo instrument or voice, ensemble, and media and/or other mode(s), as well as a catalog of over sixty post-2000 clarinet concerti, many of which are multimodal.
