In celebration of Women’s History Month, we offer this free activity on the pioneering African-American female composer Florence Beatrice Price. Price was the first African-American woman to have a symphony performed by a major American orchestra. Find out more about this inspiring woman in this interactive slide unit which includes a biography, audio example, and assessment.
The Women of Western Music
This lesson is taken from The Women of Western Music by Anna Wentlent, a resource focusing exclusively on female musicians who haven’t made it into most textbooks. Biographies, assessments, and recordings are included for 18 women who enriched the world with their incredible talents, such as Clara Schumann, Amy Beach, Marian Anderson, Ethel Merman, and Billie Holiday. Available in print, or as an interactive slide presentation.
