I welcome conversations with prospective and enrolled Research Postgraduate students who are interested in music education, early childhood education, teacher education, and the social and cultural dimensions of music learning. I am particularly interested in supervising projects related to early childhood music pedagogy, cultural and social capital in music education, psychology of music education, music-to-language transfer, teacher professional development, creative arts and public value. I look forward to working with students who are curious, reflective, and committed to developing rigorous, meaningful, and socially relevant research.
