Barrett, The Honors College Thesis/Creative Project Collection
Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.
Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

Description
The goal of this project is to create a lesson book to guide teachers and beginner students through the first six months of teaching and learning and to create a strong base of knowledge the student can draw upon throughout their time playing the harp. This lesson book is organized in three distinct sections: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. The sections were named to levels to more accurately describe the difficulty of the exercises and content. The lessons are designed to occur once a week so that each section may take two months to complete for a total of six months. The timing of the lessons are ultimately up to the teacher and student, however, as some may need more time while others can progress faster. The lessons are planned to last about 30 minutes, as longer would be difficult for the young student to sit still and pay attention, although the length of the lesson is also up to the teacher and the student. Attached to the lessons are links to the pieces so that the teacher and student may hear how the piece sounds before playing it.

Description
The purpose of this research was to examine the lived experiences of music teachers during the advent and fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. I interviewed eight music teachers who taught music in Arizona during 2020 and 2021, then coded their responses to find common themes and understandings among participants. The coded themes were communication, preparation, mode complexities, and what endures. The essence of teaching music during the advent and fallout of COVID-19 was that teaching during the pandemic was like a magnifying glass on the issues and stresses music teachers experienced before COVID-19 forced emergency lockdowns and transitions in instructional modes for these educators. I recommend that pre-service music teachers engage with their communities, that local administrators better support the needs of their teachers during their first years of teaching, and that music teaching training institutions consider initiating mentoring programs for their newly in-service music teachers to help them through their first years of teaching.

Description
I will coordinate, schedule, and lead a recording session with three separate artists each performing one song each. These artists will be fellow ASU students and close personal friends who will be involved throughout the process of their songs up until release. The recording session will be done in one day during the fall 2023 semester using the ASU Popular Music Recording Studio.
