Welcome!
This is my listening journal for the Musics of the World class at UFL!
As we are beginning this course by reflecting on the world music experiences we incorporate in our own classrooms, I thought I would share a video from my classroom.
In my school we offer Mandarin as a foreign language, so there is a lot of outreach to the Chinese Culture. The performer in this video is Professor Yue Yuan from Bryant University. She came in and did a vocal demonstration for all of the music classes and performed several Chinese Folk Songs. I cannot remember the exact title of this piece, but you will hear her describe the piece at the beginning of the video. This video was recorded in February of 2015. I believe that experiences like this are so valuable to our students as they are not regularly exposed to authentic world music experiences. Unfortunately we can not always bring in outside musicians to our classrooms on a regular basis, but this does create an opportunity for students to connect to musics from other cultures.
