CUNY Music Diversity Program

Mentor, City College of New York (CUNY)

Mentored a Latina undergraduate student through a 1-credit independent study of Amy Winehouse’s songs. The project culminated in the student writing 10-page autoethnography and presenting a lecture-recital. The purpose of the Music Diversity Program was to introduce promising minority undergraduate students to advanced research in the fields of musicology, ethnomusicology, and music theory by pairing them with graduate student mentors.
