Magna Cum Laude in guitar performance. Dr. Nelson has taught music history, music appreciation, and lute and guitar topics at East Carolina University. Her 2010 album of 16th century French guitar and vocal music with vocalist Amy Bartram, Ma Guiterre je te chante , garnered favorable reviews in France and England.
