Oxford University May Scrap Sheet Music for Being Complicit in ‘White Supremacy’
29 Mar 2021
KURT ZINDULKA

Oxford University is considering proposals that would remove sheet music from its curriculum over claims that the Western form of musical notation has roots in “colonialism” and “complicity in white supremacy”.

In response to widespread Black Lives Matter riots in the United Kingdom, music educators at Oxford have joined the wider iconoclastic movement which has been sweeping through British academia.

The music department at the prestigious and ancient university has seen calls to remove music notation from the curriculum as professors seek to focus less on white European heritage and culture.

The woke educators went on to claim that musical notation itself is a “colonialist representational system” that has “complicity to white supremacy”. The claim is similar to leftist pronouncements in America that mathematics is inherently racist.

The Oxford academics pronounced that as the skills involved are closely tied to “white European music”.

Professors at the university said that the classical music which is taught at Oxford, which includes Beethoven, Mozart, and Schubert, is too focused on “white European music from the slave period”.

... In response to student demands “arising from international Black Lives Matter demonstrations,” the Oxford faculty is also considering placing a heavier emphasis on “non-Eurocentric” musical traditions such as Hip-Hop and Jazz, as well as “African and African Diasporic Musics” and “Global Musics”.  ...
I think it's racist to throw out all music created by people of pallor (as opposed to people of color). As a sometime church pianist who has to read actual music to be able to play my instrument, this new racist approach really would hinder my efforts. Would it be okay if I played songs only by Andrae Crouch and Kirk Franklin? Then may I please have the sheet music?

White eggs are racist.  Brown eggs are local eggs, and local eggs are fresh.

What if they printed the music in yellow letters on black paper?

Not quite.  It's raciss to note that to be a Whole Note, it has to be a whitey on the inside.

Sheet Music, a trademark of genius, is musical notation indicating chords, pitch,
harmony, among many standards, annotated by the greatest minds that ever existed.
That these Oxford scumbags would suggest scrapping it, as a political gesture;
confirms them as a cadre of ignorant subversives.
