Doctoral student Ash Mach traveled to McGill University in Montreal to attend
the Timbre and Orchestration Summer School (TOSS) and Timbre and
Orchestration in Popular Song Conference. Music researchers from around
the world gathered for workshops, analytical exercises, discussion, and
presentations. “My time at TOSS was highly informative and productive. I
learned new analytical tools, engaged with music that I would not have
otherwise listened to, and networked with leading experts in music studies. I
also got to present at the conference, which was a great way to receive
feedback on my work.”
