Hide Assignment Information Instructions Goal: The goal of this discussion is to explore the history, culture, instruments and musical elements of a specific style of non-Western music. Course Objectives: CO-2: Apply musical terminology, concepts and critical listening skills to a given major composer and style of music. CO-3: Analyze the social, political, and cultural influences on Western and non-Western music. CO-4: Examine different styles of music found around the world. Description: In this project, you will create an informative website featuring the traditional music of a specific non-Western culture. (Note that the term “world music” in the context of this assignment refers to music that is not based in the Western tradition of music. If you are not sure if your chosen topic is a style of non-Western music, contact your instructor, who will provide guidance on your topic selection.) A link to your completed website will be posted to the WK8 “Let’s Explore the World through Music” Discussion. You will be building your website by using wix.com, which is free and easy to use. Wix features user-friendly drag and drop technology, so you can easily change or customize your website. All that is required is to set-up an account using your email address and password. Here is a beginner’s guide for creating Wix websites. There is also a good video explanation of building a website with Wix. Wix also has an excellent Help Center to address any questions you have while creating your website. The website should include the following: 1. A summary of the chosen culture including a short history. 2. A brief explanation of some beliefs and traditions of the culture. 3. Description of the instruments used in that culture’s music. 4. Explanation of the key attributes of the culture’s music, including melody, harmony, timbre, texture, rhythm and form. (If the style of music you choose does not include one or more of these musical elements, then you need to explain why that musical element is not present in the music.) 5. Specific introduction to one piece of music from the culture. Include at least one example of the music, such as through linking to YouTube performances. Be sure to include a description of the musical example. The above elements can either be included on one page of your website or separated into different pages. Include your name on your website. Your website should include photos and video (either linked or embedded). Embedded photos and videos need to be cited. Your choice of world music must be a style of traditional music that is non-Western or not from the Western tradition of music, therefore avoid choosing styles of music from the U.S., Canada, or Europe, including Jazz or any type of pop music (including hip hop). For example, a pop or rock band from Europe or Japan would not be appropriate for this assignment. Celtic or Irish music are also not appropriate styles of music because these are European styles of music. Also, because most students are already familiar with Reggae music, do not choose Reggae for your topic. Sources must be valid, academic sources (i.e. Please do not use non-academic websites, such as Wikipedia or About.com). Your website should not contain more than 15% direct quotes and direct quotes must be in quotation marks. Direct quotes and paraphrased material must be cited in the body of the text and in a reference section. After your website is completed and published, submit your website link in Assignments. Then, you will be posting a link to your website in the WK8: Exploring the World through Music thread when answering the WK8 Discussion question. Please consider the following: Here is a sample website that met the assignment requirements. (This example website includes a little too much direct quoting and the musical example needs a more developed explanation.) Note: If you are a military member serving overseas and have limited internet access that would prevent you from completing this project, contact your instructor for an alternate assignment. Here are some samples of Wix websites. Let your creative imaginations inspire you to create your websites! If you have any questions or concerns about this project, post in the “Questions” thread in our classroom. If you have a question of a personal nature, contact your instructor using Email.
