2. What is meant by “world musics?”
The term “world musics” was coined by
ethnomusicologists in the 1960s to categorize instructions
in music education other than those of European classical
music (Wade, 2004, p. 129).
Music education is multicultural in essence (Elliott, 1995,
p. 207).
3. Music has been greatly affected by globalization. The growth of digital
technology has increased people’s access to recorded music, altered the
ways we engage musically, and has fostered new ways of musicing. (Jones,
2007, p. 4)
Because of cultural diversity of populations across the globe…there is
musical diversity (Shehan Campbell, 2004, p. 12)
