We explore how racial and cultural barriers in music education impact children & young people's mental health & wellbeing, and examine the healing potential of inclusive singing practices. Baz and Celi are joined by Luqman Ali, co-founder and artistic director of Khayaal Theatre Company, the UK's first professional theatre company dedicated to Muslim literature and culture, and Natasha Hendry, a music psychologist whose research focuses on racial barriers in music education.
The conversation delves into the intersection of race and culture, the concept of "weathering" - the long-term health impacts of experiencing racism - and how singing can provide both immediate healing and contribute to broader social justice efforts. The guests share personal experiences of exclusion from formal music education, discuss the diversity within Muslim communities regarding music and singing, and offer practical guidance for educators wanting to create more inclusive musical environments.
