Race and Gender in the Western Music History Survey Race and Gender in the Western Music History Survey: A Teacher’s Guide provides concrete information and approaches that will help instructors include women and people of color in the typical music history survey course and the foundational music theory classes. This book provides a reconceptualization of the principles that shape the decisions instructors make when crafting a syllabus. First, it offers new perspectives on canonical composers and pieces that take into account musical, cultural, and social contexts where women and people of color are present. Second, it suggests new topics of study and pieces by composers whose work fts into a more inclusive narrative of music history. The book provides a thematic approach which parallels the traditional chronological se- quence in Western music history classes. Three themes include people and communities that suffer from various kinds of exclusion: Locales & Locations; Forms & Factions; Responses & Reception. Each theme is designed to uncover a different cultural facet that is often minimized in traditional music history classrooms but which, if explored, lead to topics in which other perspectives and people can be included organically in the curriculum, while not excluding canonical composers.
