Dr. Nytch’s scholarly research is in three areas: 1) Exploring best practices for arts entrepreneurship (“e-ship”) pedagogy; 2) Redefining the role of artists within society; 3) Creating new paradigms for concert performance and audience engagement. The field of arts e-ship is an emerging one with few standards for pedagogy; Dr. Nytch combines mainstream research in e-ship with his experience as a musician to develop an integrated pedagogy for artists. This research actively intersects with his creative work as a composer: through the application of entrepreneurial principles in his compositional career, Dr. Nytch leads by example and models entrepreneurship in action.
