Overview
Through the study of selected musics from around the world, this unit explores the ways in which culture shapes the philosophies, techniques, organising principles and concepts of musical performance. By analysing performers, audiences, texts and technologies, the unit also investigates specific musical practices in order to generate broader questions about music. How do musicians learn? What does music tell us about culture? What is the musical event? These are some of the questions that will be examined in the unit. The unit is open to all students with an interest in music. No prior musical experience required.
