Part II focuses on lived experiences presented through interviews with nineteen women representing many identities and intersecting identities, including women of various ages, races, ethnicities, orientations, years of experience, and levels of instruction. After examining traditions, assessing current practices, and reflecting on lived experiences, Part III is a call to action, providing ideas and resources for shaping and supporting a future that is inclusive and sustainable--not only for women but for everyone in the field. As the profession evolves, Women in Wind Band encourages readers with any level of experience to explore healthier practices and deepen their understanding through authenticity, community, and advocacy."--In English.
