Description of BA Music Studies

BA_Music_StudiesThe study of music at the BA Music Studies program has a dual emphasis: on specific musical traditions, musical structure, repertory, performance, and the functions of music in society; and on the principles and methods that may be applied to the study of any music in its cultural setting (including Western music). The term 'ethnomusicology' is applied to this multifaceted approach to the study of world music.

Students on the BA Music Studies programme study music in depth, from a global perspective. Training in ethnomusicology is combined with detailed study of one or two selected musical cultures of Africa and Asia, and instrumental or vocal performance of music from the same regions.
