- W263243974 abstract "THE ARTICLE YOU ARE READING was written as 2008 drew to a close, long before its publication date. Like many NATS colleagues, this writer had a stack of reading materials that was being devoured before a new school term would begin in January. On top was the November/December 2008 issue of the Journal of Singing that included a number of interesting articles. But one, in particular, prompted a physical, psychological, and emotional response so strong that the subject originally designated for this issue of New Directions had to be shelved for the one you now read. article to which I refer is The Women Composer Question in the 21st Century by Eileen Strempel. It is a concise, thought provoking, insightful, educational piece that brings out salient statistics concerning the current status of women composers. Their educational opportunities and acceptance in American musical culture are discussed in light of research and interviews with some of today's major composers. A shorter article, but similar in tone, was published in the New Directions column in September/October 2002. It was titled What to do About Women Composers. One could say, write another one? As a matter of course, this column regularly includes information about works by women. But old ground will not be covered here. appalling statistics concerning performance opportunities for the music and the lack of knowledge and recognition of major and lesser known composers documented in the two articles mentioned above stand for themselves. It is obvious that music by women still receives far too little attention by symphony orchestras, university curricula, performers, teachers, and major arts organizations. articles mentioned above can be referenced for that information. Why is this still happening and what can we do about it? Primarily, the dialogue and mindset about the situation must shift. It seems that a key element is missing: intention to make a change. We all are very busy, but each day we make choices concerning what we teach, read, sing, listen to, and support, both musically and intellectually. Consider that the effect of every intention we make is extremely powerful, shaping our lives and those of the students we teach, the colleagues with whom we work, and the atmosphere around us. In order for the music of women composers to become mainstream and a natural part of America's musical fabric, individuals must determine mentally to promote it and follow through with action in order to get results. Teachers, performers, arts managers, and authence members can affect change in myriad ways. But in order to produce significant, lasting results, each person must take responsibility for creating momentum that will become interactive and point beyond a single person or event. For instance, simply adding one or two token songs by a female composer to a student's repertoire does not allow for growth of the student's knowledge of women composers, in general. We must stop approaching this subject with an attitude of regret that there have been a piece by women on a given concert. We shouldn't feel grateful to see such a piece listed or think that is was nice to have it there. Instead we should expect women to be represented on mainstream programs by students, artists, major symphonies, and other organizations. This attitude change can make a great deal of difference to the proliferation of works being presented. How can the intention to make a change be realized? possibilities are limitless, but here are some quick ideas on how you can get started thinking about making an effective impact on the current dismal situation. 1. Have specific performance goals, such as: perform works by women composers on each concert program of your own, or discuss the music of women in a lecture-recital format. 2. Include the subject in teaching: give pieces by women to every student in your studio or include a large representation of music by women in literature classes and music history classes that you teach. …" @default.
