Full Description
Trans and gender-expansive (TGE) youth deserve a safe and empowering space to engage in high quality school music experiences.

Garrett (he/him) and Joshua Palkki (he/him) encourage music educators to honor gender diversity through ethically and pedagogically sound practices across choral, instrumental, and general music classroom environments by highlighting the narratives and experiences of TGE musicians.
