    Episode 7: Curriculum and Music History Through an LGBTQ+ Lens
    Dec 7 2025

    In this episode, Sid explores how LGBTQ+ musicians can be woven naturally and meaningfully into music curriculum across grade levels — not as a special unit, but as part of the musical story students encounter every day. From Tchaikovsky’s emotional world, to the creative partnership of Barber and Menotti, to Wendy Carlos’ groundbreaking work with synthesizers, to the artistry of Freddie Mercury and Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, this episode offers practical, age-appropriate ways to elevate visibility without tokenism. Whether you teach elementary general music, middle school choir, high school orchestra, or music history, you’ll find concrete examples for expanding representation and building classrooms where every identity knows it belongs
