Expand the scope of your music history studies! This collection of lessons celebrates the often-overlooked stories from underrepresented communities, including Black, female, Latin American, and Asian American and Pacific Islander musicians. Each is introduced with a quick-read Bio, brief Connections facts, and a Listening Lab identifying important works and key elements to discover in recommended musical selections. Students can check what they learned on the Review page, and then connect with the musician’s life and times through Reflection Questions and a culminating Writing Prompt. Edited for cultural sensitivity by professional equity consultants. Recommended for grades five and up.
