[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The AMS Music and Disability Study Group Presents, Community of Practice, Sunday, April 20th, 4:00pm EST/1:00pm PST. The flyer calls upon various iconography associated with Disability Pride, including the sunflower, butterfly, and Disability Pride Flag rainbow. A hand-drawn white picket fence is adorned with large sunflowers, bursting with vibrant yellows and golds. As an invitation of community, the gate of the fence stands open. A small pink butterfly flutters around the flowers. The Disability Pride rainbow arcs above the image.]

​​We kick off the series with Professor Adeline Mueller, who presents on the many factors involved in coordinating an accessible academic conference.

Adeline Mueller is Associate Professor of Music at Mount Holyoke College. She specializes in opera and art song by Mozart and his contemporaries, particularly in German-speaking Europe, with additional research interests in music and childhood, marginalized composers, and silent film music. Her book Mozart and the Mediation of Childhood was published in 2021 by the University of Chicago Press. She has published articles in Eighteenth-Century Music (2013) and Opera Quarterly (2012 and 2013), and contributed chapters to The Cambridge Companion to The Magic Flute (2023), Mozart in Context (Cambridge, 2018), and Wagner and Cinema (Indiana, 2010). Last fall she co-organized a symposium entitled Reframing the Gaze: Maria Theresia Paradis, Blind Musicians, and Musical Culture Before and After Braille, and she has recently organized and performed in a book event and concert on the trailblazing songwriter Connie Converse (Mount Holyoke College class of 1946).


The conference will conclude with a brief community discussion on the future of the Community of Practice series. 

DisMus offers this series as an opportunity to re-define accessibility in higher education and to reconsider the manner in which music academics share knowledge and engage in community building.

We invite you to consider participating in this series through a variety of presentation styles from traditional papers to collaborative and performance-based presentations or workshops.
