INST 381 - ASPECTS OF WORLD MUSIC

Hours: 5
A view of human nature through the lens of the world’s music. Connections between music and society in cultures chosen from the following: Native America, Africa, Black America, Eastern Europe, the Indian Subcontinent, Japan, Indonesia, and South America, will be studied outside the context of the Western European concert music tradition. Students develop a vocabulary for describing each culture’s music and a set of approaches for studying music in a sociocultural context.
Notes: Course requirements include a written project and attendance at music events outside the classroom.
