Additionally he has received many grants and stipends for his creative and research activities, and numerous commissions.
His research has been published in peer-reviewed articles, also a commissioned article was published in Scientific American (over 1 million readers), and his book, the 21st Century Voice is an important book for composition, performers of modern voice and music theory, as well as voice science.

Additionally his music has been broadcast in the US, Europe, Australia and Asia

Therefore Edgerton fulfills the following: A musician or ensemble is notable if it has had some sort of recognition by professional organizations, such as music charts. Notability is met if the musician has been the subject of a broadcast by a media network. Al2ffresco2008 (talk) 20:17, 12 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
