Meets with F430.  This course will examine the concept of applied
ethnomusicology within the contexts of museums and archives, folklife
and cultural heritage centers/organizations.  Using research and
production materials from actual projects, we will explore the work
of ethnomusicologists and folklorists as researchers, consulting
scholars, curators, authors, and developers of community out-reach
programs and educational materials for K-12 instruction.  This course
will also include a practical component, allowing students the
opportunity to work on projects in conjunction with one of the above
institutions.  Students are encouraged to continue working on
projects (or participate in others) after the semester ends, which
can be arranged through practicum study or, if available, internships.

Readings will include the mission, history, and philosophy of public
arts and culture institutions and the related work of
ethnomusicologists and folklorists.  Guest speakers will discuss
their experiences of working in the public sector on music projects.
Depending on the activities of institutions and the schedule of class
members, field trips may be arranged.
