About the Authors
Michael J. Budds was an American musicologist, and longtime professor, at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri. In addition to teaching, he wrote and edited a number of works, including a widely used textbook on American popular music. Also a philanthropist, he established the Budds Center for American Music Studies at the University of Missouri School of Music where he taught. He was the first musicologist inducted into the Missouri Music Hall of Fame. Budds taught at Missouri for 37 years, until his death on November 19, 2020
As a musicologist, Elisabeth Roberts likes to combine her passion for music cognition with her studies in music history. Her historical research and guest lecture style is shaped by social and cognitive considerations. Her projects in music research are focused on the interdisciplinary field of music and cognitive research, gravitating towards the psychology of the compositional process as well as priming factors in listeners' musical preferences.
