Building an Inclusive Practice Session 1: Discovery Workshop: Where are the Women?

Discovery Workshop: Where are the Women? (Session 1)

How many women composers can you name? Wondering why you don't hear more music written by women at concerts? This session examines why, in the 21st century, the classical music industry is still not inclusive of music by women. Discover how we got here, what needs to be done, and what you can do to create a more level playing field for the future of classical music.

This six-session series of workshops will empower attendees to create a comprehensive, holistic, dynamic, and inclusive environment, whether for their students, their colleagues, their audience, or themselves. We will facilitate discussions of relevant topics in music education and research, provide resources for further learning, and share methods to make a tangible impact in the realms of allyship and activism. You will leave this course feeling confident in your ability to diversify repertoire and curriculum with intention and care, setting a stage for future practices that are reflective of all who participate and engage in the world of music. Course registrants will also receive access to the videos of each session until the end of the calendar year.
