THE EDUCATIONAL JAZZ BAND & BEYOND:
WHERE ARE THE GIRLS?
With Kelly Clingan
|
In Seattle’s nationally celebrated jazz ensembles, we have a serious but often-overlooked equity problem. Where are all of the girls? Let’s be brave, let’s be honest, let’s talk about it, and let’s problem-solve. I don’t have surefire answers, but we need to start the conversation. This presentation will survey the structural roots of these disparities as well as offer concrete suggestions for increasing young women’s participation in jazz within school and district music programs. Teachers, administrators, and arts organizations will be empowered to advance parity in their own programs.
