Preferred term

gender roles in music  

Definition

  • In contrast to biological differences in reproductive organs between females and males, gender differences and the roles we assign to them are socially constructed and learned sets of behaviors and perceptions. The role of music in such a construction of gender perceptions is particularly important, as it is a dominant aspect of preadolescence and adolescence.
