Rewriting the Score: Amy Beach Poster for the Music Classroom

$4.00

Introduce your students to Amy Beach with this beautiful poster for your studio or classroom. For centuries, women have been writing music right alongside the men, but most students can’t name a single one. This poster helps change that! Hang it on your studio wall and let your students see the face of one of the women who shaped music history.

Amy Beach (1867–1944) was a pioneering female composer and the first American woman to compose a symphony. She was also the first major American composer who did not train in Europe.

This poster was carefully designed to be eye-catching and informative, and it includes Amy Beach’s name, dates, picture, and a few of her key accomplishments.

Description

Most of us grew up seeing posters of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven on the walls of our music classrooms. Those composers deserve their place, but the truth is that there were hundreds of women composing all throughout history whose music was performed, published, and celebrated in their day, and then largely forgotten. When students only see men on the walls, they get the message that composing is something men do.

With 5 print sizes to choose from, you can print it small for a bulletin board or large for a statement wall.

My hope is that this poster will spark curiosity in your students, and that they’ll want to learn more about Amy Beach and listen to her music. Let’s rewrite the score for the next generation of musicians!
