| Potential Student Tasks |
Responsibilities include locating, securing, and cataloging solo vocal repertoire written by Black composers suitable for undergraduate study and performance. Score analysis will include collecting and analyzing data for vocal range and tessitura. Students will regularly interact with Library resources and search engines. Additional research on poets represented in the repertoire may be required. |
| Student Qualifications |
Students must be able to read music (treble and bass clef) easily. Interested students should like detail-oriented work. An interest in multicultural representation in the arts and literature is helpful. Students from any major can apply (but may be of special interest to students in Music, Music Education, Ethnic Studies, English, Library/Archives, and other related disciplines). |
| Training, Mentoring, and Workplace Community |
The student will work one-on-one with me in this research. I will demonstrate and provide examples of the work duties as well as a timeline for task completion. I welcome questions and conversations about the project and related topics. Remote work is possible with this project. I anticipate biweekly (sometimes weekly) check-in meetings to meet submission deadlines. I am happy to provide recommendations and reference letters for research partners. Previous student research partners have earned university, regional, and national recognition for their work on this project. |

This project will involve deep engagement with solo vocal repertoire written by Black composers. Students will be hands-on with musical score study and may be asked to learn pieces of music to provide feedback for the project. This work is the next step in my commitment to expanding the standard undergraduate vocal repertoire to include works by underrepresented and/or BIPOC composers.
