🎧 Episode 4: Understanding Bias in Music Education
Bias isn’t always intentional — but it shapes how we teach, listen, and lead. In this episode, Sid explores how unconscious assumptions influence everything from repertoire choices to classroom expectations, and how awareness can transform our teaching.
You’ll walk away with five practical strategies for building equity in your music classroom:
- Audit your repertoire to track the diversity of composers, styles, and cultures.
- Review your assessments for bias or subjective language.
- Experiment with blind auditions or seating when possible.
- Invite student voice by asking what music reflects their lives and communities.
- Build peer accountability by discussing bias openly with colleagues.
Join the conversation and discover how awareness can deepen empathy — and move us all closer to belonging.
