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 Isabella Leonarda and listen to her music. Let’s rewrite the score for the next generation of musicians!
Note about the Isabella Leonarda poster:
Very few images of Isabella Leonarda exist, and the only known portrait was too low-quality to reproduce well at poster size. The image used here is a painting of an unknown Italian nun from a similar time period, chosen to represent her.
