“Isn’t It About Time World Music Is Classified as Classical Music?” is an opinion article arguing that non‑European traditions deserve the same “classical” label as Western art music. It’s a provocative read for teens studying music history or decolonizing curricula, inviting them to question how categories shape whose work is valued and taught. Parents appreciate having a concrete, readable text to frame discussions about cultural bias in arts education.
