Tim Smith's research interests include music theory pedagogy and the music of J. S. Bach. In 2003 he and David Korevaar (University of Colorado, Boulder) won MERLOT's Editor's Choice award for The Fugues of the Well-Tempered Clavier.
In 2006-07 Dr. Smith received funding from the Hinkle Charitable Foundation
for creation of the BinAural Collaborative

a commissioned recording of Bach's Goldberg
Variations (David Korevaar
performing).
