As a producer/engineer, I have worked with artists like Boyz II Men, Luther Vandross, Johnny Gill, Phyllis Hyman, Keith Sweat, and more. Prior to graduating from Delaware State University, my R and B band, "Final Mixx", won the 1989 National Budwieser Showdown Band Competition, which resulted in a recording contract with Motown Records. During my time at Motown, I was able to build my career in recording, engineering, and the technology of music. I am currently employed at Delaware State University where I serve as the Music Technology Specialist. In addition to working at the university, I also own a private recording studio where I work with DSU student interns seeking additional hands on experience in the production and recording environment.

WK4: Publishing/Leadership Presentation

Hello, and welcome to my Publishing/Leadership Presentation. The purpose of my action research was to study current practices within the music department at Delaware State University, and search for new and creative ways to integrate computer-assisted instruction and music technology within the music education curriculum to improve ear training, notation, and performance skills. Based on the literature review for this study, computer-assisted instruction and music technology play vital rolls in assisting students to achieve specific learning goals.

Analysis of the data from Cycles 1 and 2 of my research shows that students were able to improve their listening/ear training skills and became increasingly more conscientious and attentive to musical performance techniques, subsequently showing improved performance skills as well.

During the past two weeks, I have been looking at potential conferences that I would like to present the material of this Action Research Project. Since several of my students are registered and participating members of the Music Educators National Conference (MENC), I thought this particular conference would be at the top of my list. The additional two conferences that I would consider presenting this material would be the International Society for Music Education (ISME) and the College Music Society (CMS).
