African Music and Dance Ensemble
African Music and Dance Performance (MUSC 0244) introduces students to various East African music and dance traditions.
As an ensemble, the class will learn unique dances and master instruments such as thumb-pianos, xylophones, tube-fiddles, bow-harps, shakers, gourds, bells, and drums. The semester-long course will involve regular ensemble rehearsals, culminating in an end-of-term concert.
The class offers a rich, hands-on experience to students with or without a musical background. Enrolled students obtain one (1) credit.
