The nature of the skills and approaches associated with the field known as ethnomusicology. Limitations of traditional methodology and sources are stressed. Students build up skills in observation, field methods (interviewing, taping, etc.), preliminary introduction to hardware, transcription, analysis, and the writing up of research findings in the form of reviews and a final research paper delivered as an oral "convention" paper.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
