In the near future I think that university music school and even in earlier music education should put a bigger focus on knowing more about the composers and potentially the era they grew up in/their influences. I think that there should also be a bigger focus on music by people of colour, indigenous people, and women. Today we spend some time (not enough) looking at the traditional or cultural music written by people of colour and indigenous people, but if you dig a little bit you can find music written by these people but in other genres, there is classical music written by people of colour, indigenous people, and women but it is often overshadowed by pieces that were written by white men because that is what became more popular because of racism and sexism that was even more prominent then than it is today. I think that nowadays in education we are trying to be more inclusive but even the way that we learn about other cultures can be fairly exclusive. We make a point of spending specific time to focus on music written by minorities but we don’t usually incorporate their works and information on them into our everyday learning. Currently it’s like every group that has been oppressed has it’s specific time to be acknowledged, which is important of course and should stay that way, but I think if we’re going to acknowledge them we should incorporate learning about them into everyday life and I think this is really important to apply this to music because there are so many amazing musicians that have been drowned out in hierarchy that white, male, musicians hold on the classical music world.
