Tyler Bickford (MA 2006, MPhil 2007 in Ethnomusicology from Columbia University; BA 2001 with concentrations in Music and Modern Studies from Simon's Rock College). My dissertation is a study of the media consumption and expressive practices of children at a rural New England school. Recent writing examines children sharing the earbuds of their portable music devices [link]. My article about the phonetics and phonology of singing in a performance by Bob Dylan, "Music of Poetry and Poetry of Song: Expressivity and Grammar in Vocal Performance" [link] appeared in Ethnomusicology (51/3) in 2007. I have presented research on childhood, media, karaoke, and musical linguistics at meetings of the American Anthropological Association, the Consumer Studies Research Network, the Society for Ethnomusicology, the International Association for the Study of Popular Music (US Branch), and the Humanities and Technology Association. My book reviews appear in Current Musicology, the Resource Center for Cyberculture Studies, and the Journal of Folklore Research. I have also served as Editor-in-Chief of Current Musicology. My writing and a CV can be found here.
