La Onda: The Gatekeepers and the Replicants
Bickmore, Isaac
Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education, v20 n4 p171-198 Dec 2021
Joni Yessenia Sanchez is a (fictional) freshman music education major with the special ability to control sound waves with her mind. We meet her in her second semester as she happens upon the plot of a couple of extra-terrestrial visitors who plan to take over the world, while Joni is also deciding not to major in music education anymore. We witness her negotiation as she transitions out of music education and transforms into La Onda, a superhero for our times. She might be the hero that our profession needs. Will she actually leave the degree? Will she step up and save her classmates and the world? Is our profession ready to welcome a superhero like Joni?
