Ethnomusicology

About

Overview The program is distinctive for a number of reasons. In contrast to other institutions, it is situated in a unique geocultural environment that affords direct contact with music as a dynamic process and defines the kinds of studies available at UHM.The Ethnomusicology program is committed to close mentoring of students and helping students to develop a broad network of contacts. I want to find another Master Course Participant activity, learning music in a manner approaching indigenous transmission procedures, is an integral part of the University of Hawai‘i program, as is the study of theoretical problems such as the relation of music to social change, globalization, identity, diaspora, politics, commerce, dance, and theater. The focus on socio-cultural formation and on musical practice is encouraged by the “living laboratory”. At the University of Hawai‘i, the performance of world musics is a relevant esthetic experience, rather than a museum piece or a bit of exotica.Another distinctive feature of the University of Hawai‘i is that ethnomusicology is an integral part—both in organization, and in spirit—of the Music Department. The department has a long record of promoting musical pluralism throughout the college music experience and at all levels of music education, as a basis for music composition, and as part of choral and instrumental performance.Multicultural Global ExperienceCommitted to being the leading indigenous serving university in the country, University of Hawaii at Manoa proudly delivers a unique multicultural global experience in a Hawaiian place of learning, with a long history of adherence to the principles of sustainability and the essence of aloha—truly like nowhere else on earth.

The Ethnomusicology Program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa has a long-standing reputation for excellence in the study of world music, especially the music of Asian and Pacific cultures.

Other Requirements

1 : To be eligible, an applicant must hold or expect to hold prior to matriculation a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited U.S. college or university, or an equivalent degree from a recognized non-U.S. institution of higher education. At minimum, the applicant needs to demonstrate above average academic performance (B average, usually a 3.0 on a 1.0-4.0 scale) for undergraduate course work and for any post-baccalaureate or graduate course work. Because the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of spaces available, admission is competitive. Meeting minimum admissions standards does not guarantee admission.
