Matthew Buckmaster, assistant professor of music and education, performed with the Carolina Jazz Trombone Collective at the annual North Carolina Music Educators' Conference in Winston-Salem on Nov. 8, 2010. The session was an invitation back from a similar presentation at last year's conference and was attended by music educators from across the state.
Buckmaster also assisted with Elon senior and Lumen Prize winner Kaitlyn Fay’s research poster presentation, “The effects of learning jazz improvisation on student performance in second language acquisition.” Fay was the only undergraduate presenter at the conference, and earned acclaim from co-presenters for her graduate-level research study.
