This project is designed to give students the opportunity to learn non-Western music via aural/oral learning, leading to a performance as a world-music ensemble. Integrating this into Musical Futures work initially came from responses from students wanting to experience ‘all kinds of music’, and from a desire to create non-Western music projects that provided a ‘real’ performance opportunity, focusing on genuine performing skills in the chosen musical genre/culture. It also aims for as ‘authentic’ an experience as is possible, within the confines of a classroom.
