AMU 220 - Mapping Musical Lives: Ethnography of Performing Arts

Course Units: 1.0

This seminar explores the relationship between music and culture through live performance, discussion, video and audio, and workshops in a variety of world music areas. Students will also consider how one conducts research on performing arts, culminating in a focused project on music-making in the community. Students thus will encounter diverse peoples and their musical practices in cross-cultural comparison while also exploring research methodology through their own work.
