    This course is an introduction to the study of music in/as culture. Students will study music cultures from throughout the world, drawing on select Native American, African, African American, Latin American, Indian, Indonesian, and Japanese traditions. Rather than offering a broad survey of world musics, however, this course is comprised of focused case studies that examine the experience of music in specific secular, spiritual, art, and popular contexts. Students will acquire and refine basic musical knowledge and skills, including critical listening. Each student will further develop research, writing and critical thinking strategies through an individual semester ethnography project focusing on a music culture with which they are relatively unfamiliar. MUS 246 is open to students in all majors; no prior music training is required. Note that MUS 246 is required for music majors, who usually take it in the fall semester of the freshman year.
