About the Project
For my doctoral project, I researched the gender biases in higher low brass education. The three main sections involved were the following:
1. Background: The gendering of instruments and beginning of discrimination at the K-12 level.
2. Databases: I created three databases comprising of all the trombone, tuba/euphonium, and general low brass professors of every public four-year university that offers a degree in music.
3. Survey: I designed and wrote a survey to collect information about the experiences of any female and transgender/gender non-conforming low brass professors.
