Inclusivity in Music (Education) with sarcastic_fingers | Bleeding Metal Podcast 2.8

Bleeding Metal Podcast

Sebastian aka. sarcastic_fingers (he/him) is a singer, musician, music teacher, and Twitch streamer, who joined Kiki to talk about the lack of inclusivity in music throughout history. We talk about our experiences with (higher) musical education and teaching, and how it could be better. We also discuss the historical development of the piano and how a lot of humans can have trouble with its size. For the record, Kiki's handspan is less than 19cm - listen to the episode to find out how that's relevant.
