UGA Music Education Faculty Present at National Conference

Several music education faculty members at the UGA Hugh Hodgson School of Music presented at one of the nation’s largest music education conferences.

This year’s National Association for Music Education (NAfME) Music Research and Teacher Education National Conference, held in Atlanta from March 17-19, saw faculty members Roy Legette, Johanna Royo and Brian Wesolowski participating in the national discussion among some of music education’s leading minds.

Wesolowski addressed audiences in sessions as a solo researcher and with a team of educators from across the country. Topics included learning assessment models, assessment protocols and exploring rater cognition in performance assessment.

Legette, Royo and Wesolowski also had four research poster presentations at the conference, covering topics such as evaluating lesson plan development, peer feedback among pre-service teachers, a psychometric evaluation of a wind band performance rating scale and cognitive processing of melodic dictation and interval discrimination.
