Equity in music education: Embraces cultural diversity in the multicultural classroom a case study for a Multiculturalism music course

Abstract

The study of musical cultural variety allows students to gain insight into the history, forms, structures, performing styles, and musical thought of cultures other than their own. This can help to establish a mindset for making musical works and improve the process for producing academic works. It teaches students how to integrate knowledge in order to achieve their academic goals. Our curriculum promotes interactive learning, with a focus on developing critical thinking abilities in students and encourages them not to pass judgment on any problem without question or quickly acquiesce. This encourages individuals to seek knowledge on their own, which is a vital ability for learning in the twenty-first century. Considering the institution is located in an area with a diverse musical culture, students may learn about Thai, Chinese, Western, Middle Eastern, and Mekong River cultures, all affected by conflict, religion, and trade. This piques students' interest while improving their experiences, giving them a solid foundation of knowledge about cultural variety and raising awareness of global citizenship.
