ETHNOMUSICOLOGY GOES TO MIDDLE SCHOOL (EGtMS)
The "Ethnomusicology Goes to Middle School" is designed to bring ethnomusicologists into schools in the conference's host city so that ethnomusicologists and world music educators may teach lessons and observe classroom activities.
Ethnomusicologists teach at any level--K-12--and in any facet of the music curriculum--general, band, orchestra chorus. In the past, SEM Education Section volunteers have taught Chinese Luogu music in concert band, Latino dances for elementary school children, Maori music and dance for middle school students, and much more. This outreach project has brought school children into contact with culture-bearers, authors of collections of world music instructional materials, and specialists in all areas of world musics. As a result of past projects, some participants have developed long term professional relationships with schools and individual teachers in addition to establishing a curricular partnership as an ongoing consultant for the school. In other cases, several host teachers have entered graduate study with the SEM volunteer. If you are interested in participating in the Ethnomusicology in the Schools Project, please submit a proposal.
