6 Week Online Course with Mark Montgomery French

It takes a nation of millions to hold musical women back.

Join us for Unsung Women of Music, a humorous, highly immersive, and historically accurate course that reveals the awe-inspiring female song makers, beat-shakers, and dealmakers nudged to the margins of music history.

Featuring: Carol Kaye, Fanny, X-Ray Spex, Dorothy Ashby, ESG, Viola Smith, Rachel Portman, Allee Willis, Tamar-kali, Teena Marie, Suzanne Ciani, Wendy Carlos, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Gail Davies, Memphis Minnie, Susan Rogers, Anne Dudley, Stax Records, and more!

Melodies have no gender, but the machinations that deliver melodies are overwhelmingly male. Nevertheless, women have persisted in the creation, performance, production, delivery, and influence of music in all genres. My course will uncover the truths, introduce you to exciting tunes, and dive deep into the talent and tales of unfairly obscured women in music. Plus, there will be jokes.

Week One—Rock & Roll: Carol Kaye, Fanny, X-Ray Spex, and more!

Week Two—Jazz & Hip-hop: Dorothy Ashby, ESG, Viola Smith, and more!

Week Three—Songwriters & Composers: Rachel Portman, Allee Willis, Tamar-kali, and more!

Week Four—R&B & Electronica: Teena Marie, Suzanne Ciani, Wendy Carlos, and more!

Week Five—Blues, Gospel, & Country: Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Gail Davies, Memphis Minnie, and more!

Week Six—Iconoclasts & Inventors: Susan Rogers, Anne Dudley, Stax Records, and more!
