Four Music Students Awarded 2010 Summer Research Awards
Four music majors won summer research awards this year. Puget Sound offers these competitive awards so that selected students may undertake a research project under the mentoring of a faculty member. This year the music students who won awards include Joseph Bozich '13 (project title: "The Relevant Jazz Band: Advancing the Big Band for All People in the Modern Age"), Jay Herman '11 ("White Christmas': A Jewish Songwriter's New Approach to Ethnicity and the Beginning of a New Genre in Popular Music"), Elizabeth Newton '11 ("Between the Bars: Exploring the Musical Language of Elliott Smith"), and Melanie Reiff '12 ("A Study of Political Theory and Jazz History through the Music of Louis Armstrong, John Coltrane, and Charles Mingus"). The students will present the results of their research to the campus community in the fall.
