Dr. Michael Schutz is currently Associate Professor of Music Cognition/Percussion at McMaster University. He is the founding director of the MAPLE Lab and a core member of the McMaster Institute for Music and the Mind. Chatting with him about his gestural research was enlightening and thought-provoking. He currently chairs the PAS Music Technology committee and has performed at PASIC several times.
Research in music cognition is nothing short of fascinating, and the implications contained in the findings are exciting not only in performance pedagogy but for arts advocacy as well.
