The aim of this paper is to provide a broad overview of the literature on diversity and music education and its relationship with the primary and secondary education Brazilian legislation. Thus I performed a research that included official educational documents and academic production of national and international music educators. Among the findings, I point out the different concepts that take part of the theoretical construct of the concept of diversity in music education, such as multicultural music education, intercultural competence, and others. In addition, I describe other categories that were included more recently, such as gender, race, sexual orientation, and which resemble those made explicit in the documents relating to primary and secondary education. The concept of multicultural music education, which emphasized the repertoire, has been expanded, thus including other categories, making it more inclusive. This change can not be just rhetoric or made with the purpose of complying with the legislation, but, rather, it should reflect the political stance of music educators.
