Threshold Concepts for Music Studies from Global Music Histories
Abstract
An account of how approaches from global music histories have changed the author's teaching and how the author has translated these appraches into her recent book, Music on the Move—an accessible, open-source resource. The author uses the notion of "threshold concepts," that is, a set of interpretive approaches that define a discipline in order to aid decisions about both course content and skill development. Music on the Move works through a collection of threshold concepts from the author's global music studies course: colonialism, migration, diaspora, mediation, propaganda, copyright, heritage, and mixing.
