5. Are there any potential solutions to revive the works from all female composers other than raising awareness?

6. Although this is a Women-centered topic, in your opinion, how do you think we can create a more diverse and inclusive music industry for all composers, regardless of gender or race?

7. Do you believe that there should be more cultural music or elements that can possibly be combined with orchestral techniques?

8. Have you been exposed to music composed by female composers? If yes, what are some of your favourite compositions?
