The instructors of 21M.030 (Tang, Tilley and Ziporyn) propose to revamp the course in response to student desire to cover fewer geographical areas in greater depth. In conjunction with this change, we propose to pilot a new, “sister” class, numbered 21M.031 (tentatively called “Exploring World Music”). Unlike 21M.030, 21M.031 will not be a CI-H. Instead it will be a project-based class, incorporating hands-on music-making, dance and instrument-building, as well as multi-media and ethnographic fieldwork projects. For students wishing to take both, the two subjects are designed to be complementary and mutually supporting.
