Final Reports 2021. Sankofa Beatzz: Testing the Efficacy of the Funds of Knowledge Strategy for Music Education

This research is about the Funds of Knowledge (FKN) strategy (Moll, 2005) that shows teachers how to build on inclusivity at the Regent Park School of Music (RPSM). The FKN strategy scaffolds students’ interests to include racialized families and their cultural backgrounds. Teachers asked students:

1. if they see themselves reflected in the music they are being taught?
2. what kinds of music reflects their interests, races, and cultures?
3. how their family culture can be reflected in music learning?
