Looking for a Research Topic?
If you are working toward a DMA one thing you have to always keep working toward is your research project. The one thing that helps the most toward this goal is to read other dissertations and projects. But where can you find dissertations to read?
The good news is there are at least nine horn related dissertations and theses available online as free, PDF downloads. These nine are featured in this handy page in the University of Iowa horn studio website. This page also lists the complete contents of the IHS Thesis Lending Library, but I would add one note, due to the recent flood my understanding is that while the library is undamaged it is temporarily unavailable.
This website is also a great website to check out in general, it is huge and chock full of interesting horn related information. Thanks to Jeffrey Agrell for his efforts.
