Just back from the RMA Conference in Southampton - an inspiring few days full of musicology, new ideas, and wonderful conversations. Highlights included keynotes by Mariana Ritchey and Sara Collins, plus fascinating talks on amplification, EDI, and collaboration with composers.

Two workshops and a world premiere coming up this Saturday. Can’t wait! #ukulele #performance #neuemusik

Had a super productive and fun Stagepack Osterakademie 2025! Great synergies with the singers and actors. I hear there are very few spaces left for the Stagepack Sommerakademie 2025. Be sure to secure your spot if you want to spend a whole week studying the Ukulele with me! #ukulele #workshop

Teaching ukulele @zhdk.bsky.social is just always such a treat! And the weather in Zurich is absolutely gorgeous today 😊 #academicsky

I am having fun with these 3D animations. Wish me luck for my presentation tonight #phdchat #phdsky #academicsky

Major success today! Created 3D Models of hands and more importantly made the process repeatable 🥳🥳! #phdsky #academicsky #ukuleleresearch

Got to teach a wonderful group of teachers today in Hamburg. Disseminating research and keeping them entertained. #academicsky #ukuleleresearch #ukulele

Anyone else frequently writing on the train? Do you love it or hate it? I often love it. Train rides give me dedicated time slots (much like writers’ meetings), which I find usually leads to productivity. #academicsky #phdchat #phdsky

Another productive day, transcribing, inserting citations, editing and even writing a whole new paragraph. #academicsky #phdsky #phdchat #ukulelethesis

The first work trip this year brought me to Aberdeen. The RMA Conference 2025 was a wonderful event! So many incredibly interesting paper presentations, super-inspiring researchers from all over the world! Presented my research on ukulele playing techniques. #ukulele #research #conference
