Realizing Diversity (An Equity Framework
for Music Education)—Karen Howard. How
can we engage with diverse populations,
repertoire, and identities while upholding
integrity and achieving equity? What are
cultural appropriation, othering, tokenizing,
and essentializing? How can we avoid bias
in our teaching and repertoire selection?
How do we create a more socially just music
education? This book is a groundbreaking
and practical resource for crafting diverse
and anti-bias music education in classrooms,
ensembles, and studios at all levels-from
preschool to university. At the book's core
is an Anti-Bias Framework intended to help
music educators gain confidence and comfort
in designing music curricula that are just,
equitable, and make participants feel safe
and welcome. Structured around the four
social justice domains of identity, diversity,
justice, and action, this framework explores
anti-racism, gender and sexual identity, power
and privilege, disabilities, economic realities,
empathy, and critical consciousness, and it
includes appendices with critical practices
for educators and a sample curriculum. An
indispensable book for all music educators, this
considers the many separate but interrelated
questions related to creating a more socially
just music education.

ship in Music Education and Beyond)—

class, and in our interactions with students and
colleagues. With this clever premise at its core,

mindset and mindfulness strategies as well as
leadership principles that will motivate, inspire,

in any field, Upbeat! affirms the importance of
living and working with intentionality.
