    "Boulanger was a major figure in American music during much of the twentieth century, but her story is a complex one. We cannot ignore the fact that she was a problematic individual, and that her biases and beliefs were harmful for many of her students."

    I'm addressing some of the myths that continue to surround Nadia Boulanger:
