The Beyond Music Study

The study, which was conducted over several weeks in 2021, explored the academic, musical, and social perceptions and experiences of INTEMPO students and families during the COVID-19 shutdown. The researchers used Tara J. Yosso’s community cultural wealth (CCW) model as a framework to identify the forms of capital INTEMPO families used to deal with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Their report focused on four aspects of cultural capital within communities of color that often go unrecognized: familial, aspirational, navigational, and linguistic capital. These four forms of cultural capital surfaced through interviews and focus groups with INTEMPO students and families.
