We were delighted to hear that 2024 graduates Heather Baker, Samyukta Ranganathan, Emily Bender, and Jenna Brown, recently presented their research at the ISME (International Society for Music Education) conference in Helsinki, Finland. They each presented individually on their own topics and also conducted a group seminar discussing the different (non-linear) research methodologies they used in their voice research projects.
