a. ‘Music Classes: Catalyst for Intelligence Quotient’ (A Book Project) The study investigates the role of music in the development of intelligence of Children. Music classes help in the development of psycho motor and affective domain of children. Children exposed to playing of musical instruments when younger most times, perform better in schools than their peers. Music classes develop the auditory system and enhance good memory. The auditory nerves are like symphonic orchestral, if properly developed, will aid the mechanism for processing of pitch and memory.

b. ‘Yoruba Masters of Ceremonies (Alaga’s) As Agents of Change in Oyo Yoruba Nuptial Performance’. (PhD Thesis in the Institute of African Studies, University of Ibadan). The research focuses on the activities, performances and contributions of Yorùbá nuptial masters of ceremonies to the continuity and change in Òyó-Yorùbá and Ìbàdàn nuptial musical performance. The research examines the new dimensions of music, theatre and dance, the masters of ceremonies have introduced into Yorùbá nuptial performance.

c. ‘Music Pedagogy for Teaching Mathematics in Nigerian Primary Schools’. Proposal Submitted for Presentation at the 4th Annual International Conference on Africa and its Diaspora (AICAID 2015) taking place at the University of Geogia, 11th-13th November, 2015.

The study investigates the use of Music in teaching mathematics in Nigerian Primary schools. It has been observed that the most dreaded subject in Nigerian secondary schools is mathematics. This paper accesses the play-way method by which mathematics could be taught in nursery and primary schools, through the medium of music. The play-way method would be good bedrock for learning mathematics in Nursery and Primary schools. It will be an effective means of reducing mass failure in mathematics in Nigerian secondary schools, because things learnt through music have the tendency of staying longer in the memory.

d. ‘Rudiments of Music Made Easy’ (Book Project). The difficulties encountered by students in understanding the rudiments of music in Nigerian schools necessitates the writing of this book. It discusses time signature, key signature, melody writing, rests and so on.
