EDUT 5104 Equity in the Music Classroom

Teaching for Equity in the Music Classroom

Music educators are uniquely positioned to provide learning experiences that bridge students' culture and the universal language of music. This course goes beyond the Western classical perspective to honor a different approach: one that both affirms the music students are familiar with, and includes strategies to expand musical understanding. Through exploration, reflection, and implementation you’ll gather resources to create a more representative curriculum, design inclusive lessons to meet diverse student needs, and make a plan to engage community musicians to help students experience new genres and styles. Ideal for general music, band, choir, and orchestra teachers (PreK-12+), this culturally responsive approach to music education will
transform learning for all students and inspire a lifelong love of music!
