Slideshow from presentation by Dr Christopher Smith (christopher.smith@ttu.edu) on ways in which Study Abroad ("overseas study") can facilitate music-academic scholarship, and practical tools for making it happen.
This document outlines the course overview, goals, topics and requirements for MUHL5321, an ethnomusicology course. It provides definitions of ethnomusicology from reference texts and the course website. The study of music in cultural and social contexts is discussed. Historical influences including linguistics, anthropology and musicology are reviewed. Examples of early ethnomusicological fieldwork are presented to illustrate studying music within cultures. Students will observe and analyze a musical community firsthand for a practice fieldwork assignment. The course will also discuss historiography, methodologies, and conceptualizing fieldwork to define musical communities.

This document provides brief information about a country, including its flag, location, national football team, and weather patterns. It notes that the country has cold winters with snow and warmer summers with changing weather. Additional questions are posed but not answered.
Team Sauron on Yezget Nas1lsinez's "The Myth of the Eagles"Christopher Smith
The document discusses Yezget Nas1lsinez's piece "The Myth of the Eagles", which premiered in Paris in 1922. The music of the piece was described as "hideous" by one critic but Nas1lsinez said it was best understood by children and animals. It is seen as influential on modernism and had an impact on Aaron Copland's American ballet works of the late 1930s through his connection with Nadia Boulanger, who knew both composers. The piece drew from primitivism, nationalism, and folklore but also caused some controversy.
This document discusses using role-playing games in musicology teaching and research. It proposes modeling investigative processes and pattern recognition through incremental activities. This allows framing history as contingent rather than inevitable, and resists canonical approaches. The author details using role-playing in his "Music of the Long 20th Century" course, dividing students into characters to experience pivotal events like premieres. Students research characters to stage watershed moments, seeing history as imaginative rather than memorization. This practice-based approach engages students and challenges presumptions.
This document provides materials for teachers about culture and three specific cultures - the Highland Maya of Guatemala, the Hmong of Southeast Asia, and the Kiowa and Comanche peoples of the southern plains in the USA. It includes an introduction to the concept of culture, definitions of key terms, information and objects from the three cultures, lesson plans, and references for further information. The goal is to help students understand that all people need basic necessities but express their cultures in unique ways through items like clothing, food, shelter, art, and music.

This document provides information for students interested in pursuing a PhD at the University of Manchester, including details about the PhD application process, funding options, and tips for developing a strong research proposal. It notes that there are over 400 home/EU students and over 100 international students in the postgraduate research community. Funding options mentioned include AHRC, ESRC, and President's Doctoral Scholar Awards, which provide fees and maintenance. The application process generally involves a two-stage process, including applying for admission and separately applying for funding. A strong research proposal of 1,000-1,500 words is a key part of both stages. Contact with potential supervisors is also encouraged.
The document discusses teaching students about different world cultures through various learning activities. Students will watch video segments about cultures in Mexico, Africa, China, and the United States. They will then discuss each culture and draw pictures of how they celebrate in their own culture. Students will choose one culture to learn about in depth for one week. The document lists holidays and traditions from each culture and references teaching standards for social studies and language arts focusing on learning about different cultures.
The document discusses plans for a Global Peace Fair where students can learn about other places, work together, and share their talents. It explains that at the fair students can create exhibits, demonstrations, and presentations about the culture, history, and people of different countries and regions like Eastern Europe, Turkey, Croatia, Poland, and Russia. The document provides guidance on what to include at the fair like flags, maps, and cultural performances while avoiding expensive exhibits and excessive practice time.
This document discusses research on music library institutions, professionals, and trends. It finds that academic and conservatory music libraries are most common and serve large student populations. Music library professionals require extensive education in both music and library science, and responsibilities include managing collections, cataloging, and providing reference services to patrons. Demands for skills and education are increasing, which may make employment in music libraries more difficult to obtain in the future.
Library, Museum, Archival & Historical Societies: Resources for Emerging Bili...Manhattan College
This presentation discusses ways in which English as a second language teachers can use resources from library, museum, archival & historical societies. Frequently, librarians, museum educators/librarians, archivists, and historical society coordinators & researchers provide outreach to schools and education programs. Explore these ideas! Perhaps, one will be suitable to use in your classroom!
This document summarizes programming collaborations between the Oklahoma State University Library and Music Department, including two ongoing series - the Noon Concert Series and Noteworthy Evenings fundraising events. The series provide performance opportunities for music students and help support the Library's music collection. Benefits include addressing needs of both departments, building partnerships, additional fundraising, and cultural programming for the university and community.

This document provides an overview and introduction to a course on Ireland. It discusses key themes that will be covered, including Yeats's concept of "gyres" to describe the cyclical nature of history and experience. Students are introduced to Irish culture, folklore, topography, and the role of music and storytelling in preserving history and culture, especially among Irish communities in exile. Readings are assigned from Glassie, Carson, and O hAllmhurain to explore these topics further for the next class. Videos are also shared showing the social context and role of traditional Irish music.

The document summarizes Dr. Christopher Smith's presentation on energizing students through participatory learning methods. Some key points discussed include:
- Drawing on vernacular pedagogies from places like West Africa that engage students through oral traditions, storytelling, imitation and other intuitive teaching modes.
- Teaching in ways that align with students' expert learning styles both ancient and modern, rather than solely lecture-based approaches.
- Exploiting patterns, memory, orality and other archetypal teaching methods to more effectively engage students in problem-solving and demonstration of concepts.
- Encouraging faculty to identify the archetypal narratives in their own disciplines and ways of linking teaching methods more
1. The document discusses incorporating vernacular literatures into the classroom to explore cultural identity through music.
2. It argues that paying attention to vernacular literatures, which are precise expressions of particular cultures, can provide relevance beyond just ancient works.
3. Examples are provided of folk songs and poems that could be used to teach concepts through patterns, stories, and participation rather than just transmitting data.

The document discusses the meaning of advocacy in the arts and music. It states that advocacy means thinking, speaking, and engaging in arts presentations that celebrate the relevance, immediacy, and emotional reward of the arts for all community members. It also means finding ways to make repertoires and performances accessible to audiences unfamiliar with the work so they feel empowered to learn more and get involved. Advocacy is about demonstrating and celebrating the positive forces that drew practitioners to the arts and providing similar experiences for audiences.
