In celebration of International Women's Day, we offer this free activity on composer, conductor, and teacher Nadia Boulanger. Boulanger is remembered as one of the most important composition teachers of the twentieth century, with Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, Virgil Thomson, Philip Glass, Elliott Carter, and Germaine Tailleferre listed among her students. Find out more about this inspiring woman in the activity linked below.
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, PDF download, or as an interactive slide presentation.
