Music of „the Others“ in the Practical Teaching of Ethnomusicology at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad

Abstract

Vocal and/or instrumental performances of traditional melodies, as well as folk dances, are incorporated as vocational practical segments within the Ethnomusicology programme at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad, i.e. the course of the same name as well as the Ethnochoreology course. The public performances given by the ethnomusicology students of the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad, together with the collected opinions of students on personal gathering, studying, learning and interpreting melodies and dances from the musical tradition of other peoples and regions, create a clear picture of the documentary, educational and intercultural potential of ethnomusicology as a science.
