Abstract
Music can be introduced into the curriculum as a means to offer students alternative ways to engage content and express their understanding. Beyond being a curricular tool, however, we believe that music, as a form of media, is itself something to be thoughtfully considered for the messages it conveys and the ways it is used by individuals and groups of people to promote or protest particular ideas (Clay, 2006; Stovall, 2006).
