Experience Academic Excellence

Through the generosity of William Paterson’s Student Research and Creative Expression Program, I received funds to work with the Dagara Music Center in Ghana, where I learned traditional music and dance from local instructors and performers, and became exposed to different styles of both teaching and learning music. For my thesis, I am studying how singing can positively impact communities around the world, and this trip allowed me to obtain valuable research. The experience has helped me grow as a musician, student, and individual.
