Erin Keeton-Howard and Meghan Wagner
Item #:

Price:
$29.95
Written as a guide for discussion and reflection amongst music
educators, Women in Wind Band examines why
female-identifying band directors are still a minority in the
field and what can be done about it.
Centered on the experiences and wisdom of women in the field,
the book is divided into three parts. Part I
features essays
by five professionals who explore best practice and
contemporary issues.
Part II focuses on lived experiences presented
through
interviews with nineteen women representing many identities
and intersecting identities, including women of various ages,
races, ethnicities, orientations, years of experience, and
levels of instruction.
After examining traditions, assessing current practices, and
reflecting on lived experiences, Part III is a call to
action,
providing ideas and resources for shaping and supporting a
future that is inclusive and sustainable—not only for women
but for everyone in the field.
As the profession evolves, Women in Wind Band
encourages
readers with any level of experience to explore healthier
practices and deepen their understanding through authenticity,
community, and advocacy.
Book, 280 pages.
