      ab: This essay serves as a meditation on the final chapter of Philip Ewell's On Music Theory, "Outro: On a Path Forward and Music Theory's Future." After disclosing my own perspective as a junior scholar of color, I highlight a selection of the author's suggestions for "making music theory more welcoming for everyone" — the subtitle of this book. Citing Adolph Reed Jr. and Walter Benn Michaels, I analyze on the suggestions, and the book more broadly, through a classed-based lens, and offer more thoughts on what inclusion in music studies can look like, in dialogue with Ewell's own cadenza.
