Abstract
This action research project dives into how culturally responsive teaching can be applied within an secondary instrumental music classroom. Culturally responsive teaching is a theory developed by Dr. Geneva gay which is constructed by five tenets that focus on utilizing students' cultural and ethnic background as conduits for learning. The researcher Carlos D. Ramirez, explores how to apply this theory within an instrumental music class and also looks for findings to how this theory can support students of Color. Ramirez used creative ways to include culturally responsive teaching elements into his lesson plans that resonated with the students. The findings conclude that culturally responsive teaching is effective and useful within an instrumental music class as Ramirez found that there were many useful musical skills and differentiated teaching practices that help to support students of Color. This research project is also another representation for why we need to include culturally responsive teaching practices into our pedagogy.
