What is Ethnomusicology?

Ethnomusicology is an interdisciplinary study that combines elements of musicology, anthropology, and folklore to examine the role of music in various cultures. It seeks to understand the social, historical, and cultural significance of music and how it shapes and reflects human experiences.

Through ethnomusicology, scholars gain insight into not only the musical practices but also the values, beliefs, and social structures of different societies. It helps us move beyond simply appreciating the melodies and rhythms of music to understanding the profound impact it has on people's lives.

The nine ethnomusicologists who contributed to this volume, balanced in age and gender and hailing from a diverse array of countries, share the goal of stimulating further development in the field of ethnomusicology. By theorizing applied ethnomusicology, offering histories, and detailing practical examples, they explore the themes of peace and conflict studies, ecology, sustainability, and the theoretical and methodological considerations that accompany them. Theory, Method, Sustainability, and Conflict is the first of three paperback volumes derived from the original Oxford Handbook of Applied Ethnomusicology, which can be understood as an applied ethnomusicology project: as a medium of getting to know the thoughts and experiences of global ethnomusicologists, of enriching general knowledge and understanding about ethnomusicologies and applied ethnomusicologies in various parts of the world, and of inspiring readers to put the accumulated knowledge, understanding, and skills into good use for the betterment of our world.
