Folk Music of the British Isles and North America

The goal of this project is to overhaul a very successful but outgrown subject and its resources. As the class enters its sixth year, the syllabus materials are in great need of revision and emending. The instructors have added reading and listening materials without the benefit of getting them to apply more directly and efficiently to the practical classroom pedagogy. The project will involve selecting new materials, editing out readings and listenings, evaluating new texts, acquiring and editing recording videos, and establishing the class in such a way that its success can be assured beyond the personal participation of Prof. Ruckert and Prof. Perry.
