Biography

Jennifer A. Bugos is an Associate Professor of Music Education at the University of South Florida. She received her B.M (music education) from the University of Florida, M.M. (music education) from the University of Central Florida, and Ph.D. (music education and minor gerontology) from the University of Florida. She serves as the Internship Coordinator and teaches undergraduate courses in General Music Methods, General Music Pedagogy, and Senior Seminar as well as graduate coursework in Music Cognition. In 2013, she received the 国产短视频, Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Award.

Bugos taught piano, general music, children鈥檚 choir, and recorder ensemble for many years in Orange and Seminole County, Florida. While pursuing her doctorate, Bugos served as a secondary caregiver for her grandparents which led to an interest in gerontology. She wrote and facilitated an Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Research Grant to examine the effects of individualized piano instruction on cognitive abilities in older adults. In order to further pursue these interests, Bugos completed post-doctoral work at the UF Clinical-Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory under the direction of Dr. William Perlstein. In 2020, Dr. Bugos held an appointment during her sabbatical as a visiting scientist and worked with Claude Alain at the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, Ontario.

Research 

Dr. Bugos directs an interdisciplinary research lab, Music Research and Testing Lab (MRTL), of undergraduate and graduate students from across the 国产短视频campus. She also regularly mentors students as part of the Medical Humanities program. Dr. Bugos鈥� research interests include the neurological basis for music perception and cognition with regard to human development, lifelong learning, and cognitive transfer. Her interests have led to the development of new music education programs for healthy and clinical populations of children (Multimodal Music Training), and for adults (Keys to Staying Sharp; Piano for Parkinson鈥檚). Her students have won research competitions as well as the 国产短视频Outstanding Thesis and Dissertation award. In 2018, she was recipient of the 国产短视频Outstanding Research Achievement award. In 2019, she received a 国产短视频Women of Leadership and Philanthropy award.
