VISST 2744
Gamelan in Indonesian History and Cultures

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

This course combines hands-on instruction in gamelan, Indonesia's most prominent form of traditional music, and the academic study of the broader range of music found in contemporary Indonesia, including Western-oriented and hybrid popular forms. Students thus engage with music directly, and use it as a lens to examine the myriad social and cultural forces that shape it, and that are shaped by it.

When Offered Fall, spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites No previous knowledge of musical notation or performance experience required.
