Oxford University May Scrap Sheet Music for Being Complicit in ‘White Supremacy’
quote:
The University of Oxford is considering proposals that would remove sheet music from its curriculum over woke claims that teaching the Western form of musical notation has roots in “colonialism” and “complicity in white supremacy”.
So new music classes will be: hey you guys play whatever you want....yeah just make up some shite and you'll get your A.....except for you white devils....and no more questions/discussions about racists suck as Beethoven, etc.
quote:
Professors at the university said that the classical music which is taught at Oxford, which includes Beethoven, Mozart, and Schubert, among others, is too focused on “white European music from the slave period”.
quote:
In response to student demands “arising from international Black Lives Matter demonstrations,” the Oxford faculty is also considering placing a heavier emphasis on “non-Eurocentric” musical traditions such as Hip-Hop and Jazz, as well as “African and African Diasporic Musics” and and “Global Musics”.
So from great to shite....

Reading music must be super hard for a certain segment of the population...

And they believe they are so superior to everyone else as they make up arbitrary rules.

I graduated 30 years ago. The lib attitude was alive and well then, but to get you they would drop you from an A to a B not outright fail you.

I see no reason NOT to expand the music curriculum beyond Mozart, but I am at a loss to understand how students can contend that musical notation (nothing more than a writing system) is “racist.”
As usual, ideologues at the fringe are usually idiots. At Oxford, perhaps “highly-intelligent idiots,” but idiots nonetheless.

Because it is hard and not easily adaptable to RAP...?

Bc Mozart and crew aren't black and a black man didn't come up with musical notation.

“From the slave period”
I wonder what period all those folks in China stitching together our Nikes think they’re living in.

Not really. Just take the sheet music of previously successful songs, copy it, change the time, and throw in a few bass line changes.

Probably only affect white people, so it doesn't need canceling now...
Well, other than black folks that get the Hanzi tattooed on them thinking it says "strong black man" when it really says "cave man"...

This sort of shite isn't "fringe" anymore, it's mainstream culture.

Scholastic achievement (which I have a great deal of respect for..) apparently does not inoculate you from group think.
There seems to be a great number of "smart" people that have abandoned reason and and the value of vigorous debate...
