Overview
We balance diverse aspects of ethnomusicology by stressing performance, music transcription, theory and analysis, and social and intellectual history equally. We collaborate regularly with music theory, historical musicology, and composition divisions in the School of Music, and are linked to Area Studies and other departments across the university.
Features
- The Ethnomusicology students and faculty from University of British Columbia comprise a small community, but our time together is intense and vibrant, and excellent work is being done.
Programme Structure
Research
- Our primary regional specialties are Bali/Indonesia (Tenzer) and Korea/East Asia and Great Britain (Hesselink), but we pursue research on many kinds of music and have supervised work on Sri Lanka, Ghana, Zambia, Iran, Czech Republic, Brazil, Morocco, Japan and more. We especially welcome doctoral students with an advanced grounding in a tradition whose inner workings they seek to uncover.
- From the state-of-the-art Chan Centre for Performing Arts, one of North America's premier musical venues, historic Old Auditorium, intimate Roy Barnett Recital Hall, and comprehensive Electronic Music Studio, to university-wide facilities such as the Emerging Media Labs, graduate students at UBC Music have access to world-class facilities.
