Building an Inclusive Practice Session 3: Beyond Florence Price: Composers of Color You Should Know

In this never-before-seen workshop from Boulanger Initiative, we are going to share with you a host of “deep-cut,” non-white women composers; equally worthy of study and performance as the relative monolith of Florence Price, we will take you on a journey from the Renaissance into the 21st-century with composers from around the world. This session will serve as a next step for utilizing the skills from Research 101 and Curation 101 for educators and musicians looking to expand repertoire and put them into use in your own classrooms and performance practice.

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.
