My name is Nicholas Roseth (pronounce), and I am music educator and researcher. As a teacher, I work with collegiate pre-service teachers, in-service teachers, and music-makers of all ages. As a researcher, I am interested in issues of surrounding creativity, inclusion, place and space, and well-being.

Some of my work—including recent updates, publications, research presentations, posters, masterclasses, and syllabi—can be found below.

    Bucknell University, as part of the core curriculum for students in the College of Arts & Sciences, requires that students take an “Integrated Perspectives” (IP) course. IPs are co-taught by two faculty members from different departments. Working with a history colleague, we are…

  • Lycoming County Band Festival

    This summer I had the privilege of conducting the one-day Lycoming County Junior High School Band Festival with over 100 middle schoolers. I was originally asked to do so in Spring 2020. We managed to get one evening rehearsal in before everything closed…
