Pick a musical culture outside North America or Europe.
Can you find information on this musical culture online? (If no, choose another musical culture)
Describe the music (How does the music sound?)
Portray the behaviors (What behaviors take place in a musical performance? e.g. applauding only after a performance, never during)
How does the music relate to the culture (Why is there music in the culture? Why is music important?)
Make connections between music description, behavior, and conception of music. Does the behavior affect the sound of the music? Does the culture’s concept of music affect behavior?
