Although music has common elements around the world, its unique qualities within each culture offer rich possibilities for understanding the people who created and use it. By hearing, performing and reflecting on the music of Sub-Saharan Africa, you will observe how music and related arts reveal a world outlook: ideals of the good and beautiful, the experience of time and space, and attitudes toward nature and human relationships. In addition, examining music across cultures can lead to a fuller appreciation of your own music.
