MUS 633 - World Musics

An ethnomusicology course exploring the folk, classical, and popular musical traditions of some of the world’s diverse cultures, including those from Africa, India, and Asia. We will survey both traditional and contemporary musical practices and examine their broader sociocultural contexts. Coursework includes reading and listening assignments, critical analyses of musical artifacts and cultural trends, and creative design projects. As part of the course, students complete an independent project in which they will demonstrate an application of concepts learned in the course to their professional field.
