MUSA 2300 Musics of the World
This course provides an introduction to selected music cultures from around the world. The main goal is to study the connections between music and various socio-cultural features and institutions; to become familiar with the features of major musical styles from the cultures studied; and to analyze and apply interdisciplinary concepts from the discipline of ethnomusicology. No specific musical training or background is required. MUSA2300 replaces MUSA1320 Introduction to Musics of the World. Starting in Spring 2026 the course fulfills the Arts Core requirement (in addition to the Cultural Diversity Requirement).
