Virginia Tech Scholar of the Week

The Office of the Vice President for Research recognizes music Professor Vernon Burnsed, who studies the effects of expressive performance on student response and achievement in music education.

Burnsed's research investigates when children first perceive the expressive properties of tempo and dynamic modulation in music and how this perception affects their preference for music. 

He directs the Virginia Tech String Project, created to help train tomorrow's instructors by bringing string education to musically under-served communities in Southwest Virginia.
