Introduction to World Music Cultures is an entry-level course in the study of World Music. These musical traditions will be explored both on the basis of their intrinsic characteristics, as well as in connection with their social, economic, and political contexts. Students will also be introduced to the discipline of Ethnomusicology. As a term project, each student will be required to visit and document a local musical culture selected by the student and approved by the instructor.
