摘要：This study presents an overview of multicultural music, and how learning multicultural music can aid students in discovering his or her personal identity along with enhancing a student’s social, emotional, and cognitive skills. Historical knowledge highlights why multicultural education and music tailor to the majority culture, yet pedagogical practices are included to fortify teachers’ confidence and effectiveness so that they can teach multicultural music as a valuable instructional tool. Using Critical Race Theory, this research demonstrates how students can use their array of senses in learning to overcome the prejudices that often are associated with learning multicultural music. New theoretical ideas are introduced, but these theoretical ideas are broad. Limitations include some broad teaching and learning practices, but more concrete examples would strengthen the effectiveness of these teaching and learning practices.
