World Music Class
Isabelle, Jane, Patricia and Kaeli discussed briefly the main objectives of the World Music Course.
We decided that Unity and Diversity of all Music traditions is a dominant theme.
Other (new) themes that were brought out were:
1) Students regard other cultures from the inside out. Learning different cultures through participation rather than simply observation.
2) Preservation of Musical languages.
3) Music is a bonding from the physical, emotional and mental levels all the way to the level of consciousness.
Field trips were considered including one to the Vedic Pandit Campus. Another idea, was to contact the local tribe whose territory included the land where MUM is located and see about a possible field trip to watch them perform their traditional music. (Kaeli is going to contact Vanessa Vidal of GMDO for information on this tribal group).

Jane suggested that we meet again next Friday (12/17/10) in the Faculty dining
