She is an internationally recognized vocal clinician, has given papers at a number of overseas Conferences, most recently in Sweden on the increasing use of taonga pūoro in NZ vocal music, and in Australia on how the emergence of a new generation of NZ poets is encouraging more NZ vocal composition. She has published a book on sight-singing Sing What You See, See What You Sing and two DVDs Warm Me Up, Judy! and Body, Voice and Brain. Judy has also recorded a CD of New Zealand song, and a DVD on historical Dunedin songs Songs of Old Dunedin.
