Challenges and Potential of a Diverse Music Teaching Force: A Review of the Literature
Update: Applications of Research in Music Education, v43 n2 p12-21 2025
Current practices of music pedagogy have not been successful at attracting or retaining students of color; as a result, K-12 bands, orchestras, and choirs often reflect the disproportionately White demographics of music performance settings. Practices in the field of music education must adapt to prepare teachers to provide inclusive pedagogy to the racially diverse student populations they will encounter. This includes creating a more diverse teaching force, as well as changes to both teacher preparation practices and the K-12 music curriculum. In this literature review, I examined literature that addresses the question of how to foster inclusivity in music pedagogy.
