Abstract
This chapter outlines strategies co-developed (by a community music school and a York University research unit) in order to explore ways of integrating pan-African music repertoires (PAM) in the school&s;s programmes from 2018 to 2021, and argues to improve representation, specifically for learners of African descent, is to rethink repertoire and to diversify pedagogical approaches. Teachers who require or prefer to use notation in their classes will quickly discover that coverage of PAM repertoires in the catalogue of the major sheet music publishers is not consistent. Given the current prominence of the djembe and steel pans in music education, searching for PAM repertoire by instrumentation yields significant results. Although the scholarship represents a positive contribution to musicology and to music education, the testimony of Canadian minority-ethnic musicians and students themselves is still too often absent. The chapter takes a similarly multidirectional approach to examine how music curricula can be diversified and representation improved for learners of African descent.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
