Global Music History as Teaching Framework
Perspectives of a Generalist
Abstract
This article discusses how the author incorporates concepts from the developing scholarship of global music history into the general education music course that she teaches as the only full-time music faculty at an institute of technology, and as a scholar identifying with historical ethnomusicology. She describes how embracing Michael Dylan Foster’s concept of defamiliarization has helped to broaden the non-major students’ perspectives on seemingly local music cultures and the notion of music itself.
