Ethnomusicology 91 A-Z and 161 A-Z. Students have the opportunity to participate in performing organizations representing some 10-12 traditions. These ensembles are taught by masters of each tradition, who are also usually natives of that tradition, giving the student a chance to understand the subtleties of pedagogical technique from someone who has spent a lifetime immersed in the music. (For details click on World Music Performance Ensembles). Private Instruction in Music Students in the world music concentration who want alternatives to the above performance ensembles may enroll in Ethnomusicology 92 or 162 in order to receive two units of credit for private or semi-private lessons with a distinguished community-based musician. All costs involved with these lessons are to be paid for by the student. Once the student has selected the musician and musical tradition, a 92/162 course contract must be completed and submitted to the department chair's office no later than the end of the second week of the quarter the student plans to enroll.
