Ethnomusicology

Performance in the Ethnomusicology ensembles in the ASU Herberger Institute School of Music is designed to balance academic studies of the music of various cultures. As a performer, you learn to play traditional instruments via the oral tradition of each culture. Local professional musicians from each cultural area are often hired as faculty associates to teach the ensembles. A formal concert is presented on campus each semester and most groups also perform within the community or tour Arizona and the Southwest area.
