Grounded in research on culturally responsive pedagogy and musical identity development, the project investigates how including music from diverse cultural backgrounds\u2014particularly those connected to students\u2019 lived experiences\u2014can support engagement, creativity, and a deeper sense of belonging in the classroom. The review examines key benefits of culturally inclusive music instruction, such as increased motivation and identity affirmation, while also considering the practical and institutional challenges educators may face when broadening their curriculum. Ultimately, the paper seeks to understand how music educators can meaningfully incorporate a wider range of musical traditions to create more equitable and representative learning environments.
