The Department of Music Teaching and Learning was pleased to sponsor the visit of Jesper Andersen (Royal Danish Academy of Music) and his colleague Razvan Paisa (Aalborg University, Copenhagen) from November 22-25, 2025. While at Eastman, Andersen and Paisa (a) presented their research related to cochlear implants to our Music for Special Learners course (MTL 216), (b) participated in a research study at Eastman designed to replicate their own work related to perception of melodic contour, (c) presented on the research process to students in the Quantitate Research Course (MTL/TH 505), and (d) met with faculty who are proposing an interdisciplinary center for music and audio engineering that is similar to the work they do in Copenhagen.
