Black Lives Matter! Black Music Matters!
As a White, male music teacher educator and musician, I cannot speak to the experiences of living as a person of color in the United States. I continue to read and learn how to decentralize the White gaze in music education. I have a great deal of work to do, but I feel that I want to do what I can to educate preservice music educators about the importance of music from people of color. Here are some resources that may assist you in your own journey.
