132: Harmony for All Part 2: LGBTQIA+ Inclusion in Elementary Music - Chaotic Harmony Podcast
We are continuing our conversation on how can we make our elementary music classrooms more inclusive, compassionate, and representative of every student we teach! This is part two of our episode on the joys and struggles of music education through the LGBTQIA+ lens, hosted by Jamie Jun and Crystal Pridmore, and joined by Danny McKay and Ashtyn Avella!
Did you miss out on last week's episode, don't forget to check that out.
Topics include:
Navigating identity and authenticity as music educators;
Why representation, allyship, and advocacy matter in elementary music;
Practical ways to support LGBTQIA+ students in your classroom.
Join us for an honest and earnest discussion that blends storytelling with actionable advice since inclusive teaching isn’t a trend -- it’s a harmony we build together.
