Aims, contents and method of the course

Content

"Ethnomusicology is what ethnomusicologists do." Allegedly once said by David Hughes. But what exactly is being done in ethnomusicology? As a subject that is so often defined by its methods, particular attention should also be paid to these. In this exercise, an introduction to important methods and their practical application is given. These include, for example, transcription and notation, analysis or field research.

Methodology

Since this is an exercise and the tools to be learned require it, there will be weekly house exercises. After a first introductory session, exercises will be completed, which will be presented by the students in the course. Each homework deals with a specific topic or a regional focus. The information required for this is discussed in the previous unit but must then be elaborated with the materials provided. Finally, what is learned should be applied to selected case studies. For this purpose, examples are also given.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

In order to complete the course positively, all three parts (exercise, presentation, final work) have to be evaluated positively. For this purpose, at least 50% of the assessment must be achieved in all parts.

The evaluation is then carried out according to the following scheme:
Note 1: very good> = 87%
Note 2: good> = 75%
Note 3: satisfactory> = 63%
Note 4: sufficient> = 50%
Note 5: not enough <50%
