Honoring Trans and Gender-Expansive Students in Music Education
by Matthew L. Garrett and Joshua Palkki
Trans and gender-expansive (TGE) youth deserve a safe and empowering space to engage in high quality school music experiences. Supportive music teachers ensure that all students have access to ethically and pedagogically sound music education. In this practical resource, authors Matthew L. Garrett (he/him) and Joshua Palkki (he/him) encourage music educators to honor gender diversity through ethically and pedagogically sound practices across choral, instrumental, and general music classroom environments by highlighting the narratives and experiences of TGE musicians.
Highlights:
- Includes stories and lived experiences of TGE youth and their music teachers which have never been published before
- Features practical, ready-to-use suggestions based on TGE youth experiences and the authors' classroom teaching experiences, published research, and professional development experiences with music teacher colleagues
- Focused on people (school music teachers) working with other people (TGE students) through the art of music
