Assignment 1.2 Erin Grogan
"The student composer begins to be composed of the music fed to the class. It is a diet, predominantly, of twentieth-century Western art music which, they discover, is correlated to the work of exceptionally gifted composers."
-Macarthur, How is the Composer Composed?, Towards a Twenty-first Century Feminist Politics of Music, Page 46.
This quote comes in the beginning of the section of the chapter called "Sketching the Historical Unfolding of the Narrative." It comes directly after Macarthur discusses how 'high-brow' music, the 'new' classical music, is really a repetition of previous music being regurgitated based on the foundation of music education being so homogeneous. This quotation discusses in more detail where that homogeneity stems from and how it is a problem rooted in the way that academia teaches music to its students.
