Music Inclusion Hub Curriculum Guide & Supplement
A digital hub of culturally responsive, intersectional, mixed media resources for primary and secondary school educators nationwide.
Beyond the Box is a curriculum guide designed to bring to life women and gender-marginalized composers and musicians who have historically been relegated to one paragraph inserts or boxes in standard music history textbooks. In these pages you will find information about not just music, but history, science, literature, art, fashion, cuisine; in other words, the worlds in which these composers lived!
This curriculum is for everyone - whether you are a music major at a conservatory, a high school student, or a lifelong learner, there is something in this guide for you. We designed Beyond the Box to be as accessible as possible, with definitions of music-specific words, inserts about socio-political events at the time, and introductions to other historical figures.
As part of Beyond the Box you will also find an Activity Supplement with additional content for you to explore. This section includes short informational videos, exercises, discussion prompts, games, and more to enhance your understanding and learning experience. Welcome to Beyond the Box!

Boulanger Initiative is thrilled to announce "Beyond the Box, Into the Barlines - Women Composers Throughout History: Orchestra Edition." With orchestral programming trends remaining deeply unequal, this exploration of sixteen different women composers from all over the world will give you just a glimpse into the wealth of overtures, symphonies, and other pieces for orchestra that have been previously overlooked, from the 1700s to present day.
This 16 chapter, 176 page curriculum, available in digital and print versions, is aimed at high school, early college students, and for curious minds of any age. This book is an unprecedented effort to bring the lives and music of 16 outstanding women composers out of obscurity and back into the spotlight.
