Abstract

Gender issues in jazz education are re-examined through a lens of social-psychology utilizing theories of tokenism (solo-status), stereotype threat, and self-efficacy. Instrument choice as a major contributor to the lack of females is questioned, and suggestions for increasing female retention in jazz are presented as part of a social-psychological approach to improve girls’ self-efficacy for involvement in jazz education programs.
