Hispanic and Latino/a/x students encounter substantial barriers and challenges at all educational levels when attempting to find necessary resources in secondary ensembles, graduate from high school, attend college, obtain teacher licensure, and enter the music education profession. Despite data showing growth of the Hispanic and Latino/a/x population in U.S. schools, music educators cannot assume that these numbers will equate to more diversity in the field of music education. Considering the overwhelming number of obstacles Hispanic and Latino/a/x peoples face when trying to enter the field of music education, more supports are needed to (a) recruit a more diverse educator population and (b) retain highly qualified educators.
