[Smt-talk] Good Primer for First-Year Students on Gender in Music and Music Theory?

[Jennifer Bain]

Nicholas Cook's _A Short Introduction to Music_ provides an excellent
introduction to issues of gender and sexuality in music (and all sorts 
of other
things too, including the idea of authenticity in music, particularly as it's
been applied to pop vs. rock etc.).
