Johnathan Frew
Research Interests/Topics: Drum and Bugle Corps in the United States and how young performers can find valuabel opportunities for self-expression in the activity. More broadly, I am interested in the United States Marching Band transitions, Youth Performing Arts and their organizations, and gender expression through performance.
Arts Background: B.A. in Folklore & Ethnomusicology and African American & Diaspora Studies from Indiana University - Bloomington. Has performed as a saxophonist for 10+ years through school bands and independent gig performances.
I believe my work with Drum Corps will have meaningful implications for understanding the experiences of young artists through their musical performances. By better understanding all of the opportunities for self-expression and exploration that performance can offer young artists, music educators and program organizers can construct their curriculum and programming to better foster an environment that promotes growth for young artists.
