•Piloted a residency focused on ways to integrate new technologies into performances•"Last spring, I had the pleasure of hosting the musical quintet Beauty Slap here on campus at Stanislaus State, for a 2-day residency and concert performance. During that time, the truly outstanding musicians in the group presented workshops and master classes for our music students...this is a facet of our field that my students are keenly curious about: how to use new, amazing musical tools in a meaningful way, but also how to make a living as an artist using these skill sets. The musicians of Beauty Slap offer a valuable, working model of musical entrepreneurialism—both creative and practical. Lastly, as individuals, the members of Beauty Slap are excellent teachers, good-natured and approachable, and are able to connect with university students easily and intuitively. The groupwas responsive to our needs and requests regarding their residency, and were eager for their visit to provide what I was hoping for, both as teachers and as performers. They made sure that our students were actively engaged, and were responsive to questions and needs expressed by students along the way. I encourage anyone looking to bring an unexpected and exciting musical ensemble to their campus to strongly consider Beauty Slap. Their blend of outstanding traditional musicianship and skill with cutting-edge technical prowess and tools creates a musical experience that is thrilling, fun, and has really inspired my students in specific ways, to actively create a musical future that doesn’t yet exist."-Dr. Stuart SimsProfessor of Music, Director of Instrumental StudiesCALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, STANISLAUS
