Review: Study and Songs to Support DEI Awareness

Emma Hutchinson reviews a Musicbuds online course in supporting diversity, equity and inclusion

Many educational settings only offer DEI information through policy documents and as part of termly CPD gatherings. The online course ‘Study and Songs to Support Diversity, Equity and Inclusion’, from Musicbuds, goes far deeper into this complex, often political subject, and encourages us to consider how we might embed our understanding of DEI through teaching music.

Created by Dr Clare Seymour, this course is tailored for teachers, parents, and carers of young children. It serves as a ‘sister’ programme to the original course (designed for educational institutions), offering the same rich DEI content adapted for individual learners. It is self-paced: 24 hours of study over 16 weeks (working out at 90 minutes per week). Participants can optionally submit a brief written DEI exercise to gain CPD accreditation.
