Ongoing research is an integral part of my teaching practice and I take my role in choosing content with great responsibility. As no two humans are exactly alike, neither are their music preferences. However, the more exposure one has to a variety of music the greater their appreciation will be. As an instructor, it is important for me to be aware that there are songs we once may have had fond memories or experiences of that should no longer be used. "There is no purpose served in asking students to internalize and share music that has a history steeped in oppression" (Leroy, Valerie Diaz. (2019).
