Dr. Sayers\u2019 research explores perception of music, specifically the perception of musical form in post-common practice art music. Her dissertation applies theories of musical perception to the analysis of Debussy\u2019s piano preludes, defining formal patterns based on associative relationships. Gretta\u2019s other areas of research include pedagogy and empirical methods in music research. She has presented at national and international conferences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Gretta\u2019s love of teaching began in high school, when she started teaching private piano, theory, and history lessons, and continued throughout her undergraduate degree. After graduating from the University of Regina, she was adjunct instructor of theory at Brandon University from 2005 to 2008 and held T.A. positions at the University of Western Ontario and the University of Kansas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>B.A. Honours Music Theory, Music History (University of Regina) M.A. Music Theory (University of Western Ontario) Ph.D.\u00a0 Music Theory (University of Kansas) Music Theory Phone: 204-727-9611 Email: &#x73;a&#x79;&#101;&#x72;&#x73;g&#x40;&#98;&#x72;&#x61;n&#x64;&#111;&#x6e;&#x75;&#46;&#x63;&#97; Gretta Sayers is Assistant Professor of Music Theory and Aural Skills at the School of Music at Brandon University.
