Ethnomusicology In Action offers professional development workshops and long term consulting services for school systems and schools to help them to foster equity, inclusion, cultural competence and culturally responsive education for their Afro Descendant students using an ethnomusicological approach.


Ethnomusicology is small branch of anthropology that uses music, ethnicity, racial constructions, class and other factors to analyze societies, cultures and sub-cultures. We use research on culturally responsive pedagogy, and draw from effective models used with Afro descendant students in Botswana and in the US. We offer professional development workshops, and consulting services to schools, school systems, non-profit organizations and other institutions that serve large groups of African American and other minority children. We help schools and school systems to develop programmatic measures that address inequity, combat bias and foster cultural competence in teachers. We invite you to read through our workshop/consultancy models and explore how they might benefit your school.

​Our Workshops and Seminars
  • Multi-Cultural Arts Based Instruction through Global Education
  • Equity/Anti-Bias Training for School Administrators and Educators
  • The History of Colonial Education/How to Decolonize A School and School System
  • Culturally Responsive Education for African American Students Pre K – 5/6-8/9-12
  • Teaching Africa to Multi-Cultural Student Groups
  • Teaching Africa to African American Students (The Culturally Responsive Approach)
  • Decentering Whiteness in the Classroom Through Global Education

​Curriculum Development Services

We also offer curriculum development services to schools, school systems, museums, colleges/universities and other educational institutions. We use imaginative creativity to apply culturally responsive pedagogy for Afro Descendant learners to various subject areas. Final outcomes might include a comprehensive curriculum with full lesson plans, curriculum guides with multi-media instructional resources, and other kinds of teaching tools. We specialize in integrating African American/African/African Diaspora studies into all subject areas.
