I honestly have never been intentional about doing anything to specifically recognize Women's History Month in my classroom because it falls at the same time as Music In Our Schools Month, but I have been making a conscious effort for years to make sure female musicians of all types are represented in the examples I share. Three years ago I shared my first list of female musicians, and today I'm sharing more of my favorites to highlight with elementary and middle school students!
She is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and performer- this video is how I first discovered her!
2. Pinar Toprak
She is one of the top video game music composers today as well as a well-known film score composer, most famously writing for Captain Marvel and Fortnite.
3. TOKiMONSTA
She is a well-known record producer and DJ who makes all her own songs.
She is a Colombian Canadian singer-songwriter who blends many different musical genres into her music.
She is a young multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter most well-known as a drummer.
Of course there are hundreds of other amazing female artists that would be excellent examples to feature- if you have more favorites please leave them in the comments! Besides just featuring female musicians, there is a lot we can do to respect, reflect, and respond to the needs of our female students- you can read my previous post with more thoughts on that here. For more female musicians I love to feature, here is my previous post on female musicians.
