They specifically address emergent bi/multilingual students, students with physical variations, neurodiverse students, and gifted and talented students as well as those with intersectional identities.The book serves as a first step in understanding how to leverage students’ individual strengths and selves for music education in a variety of settings, including general music classrooms, performing ensembles, and private studios.
