The Heartbeat Music Project supports Diné K-12 youth living on Navajo Nation through the intergenerational transfer of culture, language, and music. These teachings preserve and celebrate Indigenous traditions while addressing historical imbalances that have often marginalized Indigenous music in favor of Western genres. By offering both Diné and Western music education simultaneously, we provide students with comprehensive musical knowledge that honors cultural roots while expanding access to diverse musical opportunities. Students engage in an organic confidence-building process where they strengthen their cultural identity and explore various music genres, creating innovative artistic traditions that challenge conventional boundaries and enrich both local Navajo communities and the broader musical landscape. These emergent artistic expressions help shape contemporary musical cultures while remaining rooted in and sustained by the greater Navajo community.
