Bio

Christine Boone received a B.M. in vocal performance at Indiana University and both an M.M. and Ph.D. in music theory at the University of Texas. Christine’s research interests are centered around popular music. She has presented papers on the Beatles in both the United States and the United Kingdom. Her current research focuses on mashups and AI, and her work on these subjects has been published in both books and articles. She is also passionate about music theory pedagogy, and is co-author (with Brad Osborn, University of Kansas) of Music Theory Matters (forthcoming, Oxford University Press), a new textbook that decenters the classical canon in favor of popular music and music of BIPOC and women composers. Throughout her career as a music theorist, Christine, a lyric soprano, has remained active as a professional soloist in major works, such as Haydn’s Creation, Vivaldi’s Gloria, Handel’s Messiah, and as a featured soloist in the Asheville Amadeus Festival. In addition, she has put her musical knowledge to work on NPR’s classical music game show, “Piano Puzzler.” For more on Christine’s work, please see christineboone.wix.com/mashademia.
