Research Interests
Dr. Torres's active research interests center on historically-informed performance and language-guided articulative practices, aided by spectral analysis.

She has presented clinics and sessions as a scholar and at festivals as a performer at professional conferences including the Midwest Clinic, Ohio Music Educators Association, National Flute Association, Florida Flute Association, North American Saxophone Alliance, Navy Band Symposium, and the World Saxophone Congress.
