The biographies of amateur musicians unveil how gendered ideologies functioned in lived experiences: didactic prescriptions pertaining to consumerism and luxury, and to patriarchy and marriage, are complicated when we attend to individuals’ pleasures and hopes. The next generations of amateur musicians operated within the patterns established by the post-Revolutionary generation. The epilogue casts forward into the antebellum period to consider the similarities and differences with what came before. Most notably, a shift in attitudes toward female music teachers represents a marked change in the nineteenth century. However, separate gender roles remained entrenched. A summary of how manuscript music books’ materiality intersected with gendered experiences of music in amateurs’ daily lives in the early republic reminds us how this came to be the case.

The final chapter of the book honors TGE persons by removing the authors’ voices and focusing on the stories and lived experiences of trans and gender-expansive (TGE) students and their music teachers. To exemplify the ideas associated with transgender theory, the voices of marginalized and underrepresented TGE persons are elevated as they share their advice with school music teachers and music teacher-educators. In this process, our TGE collaborators reclaim their personal stories and they create more a more direct pathway for communication. Readers benefit from the opportunity to “Listen, and hear their voices” in an effort to learn from TGE individuals.

This chapter explores the need for music teachers to honor trans and gender-expansive (TGE) students participating in school music programs. Diversity enriches arts engagement, in part, by uniting individuality through communal and collaborative music experiences. School music diversity includes the LGBTQA population and, more specifically, TGE young persons. Music educators benefit from knowing and understanding the lived experiences of TGE young persons as a way to honor and celebrate their individuality. Concepts of gender identity, gender expression, sexuality, and attraction are discussed in an effort to frame a glossary of terms used throughout the book. The authors acknowledge historical contexts in which this text was written. A brief primer of intersectionality is provided to contextualize the complex identities of TGE persons.

Bodyweight—the number on the scale—has been constructed as an objective measure of health, and weight loss as synonymous with healthier. Weight has been used as a way of classifying and controlling people, ignoring the embodied, relational, and cultural meanings attached to health and weight. Instead, these subjective experiences are lumped into a numerical category. Our society's obsession with weight is weighing us down and most of us should toss out our scales. Scale stories offer a departure from canonical narratives about physical health and body image by emphasizing emotions and lived experiences instead of bodyweight and numerical categories.
