Abstract In a series of interviews first appearing in the Music Educators Journal, the interviewer asks eight ethnomusicologists to provide information on a specific culture and give advice on introducing that culture's music to the classroom setting. Additionally, the author provides a discussion of the patterns and conflicts in ideas represented by these ethnomusicologists. This book grew out of a joint project of the Society for Ethnomusicology's Education Committee and the Music Educators National Conference. Key elements include: lesson plans with music examples; resource list with books, film, and recordings; interviews with experts on Navajo music, music of Thailand, music of Iran, music of the Amazon, music of China, Yoruba music of Nigeria, African American gospel music, Latino music.
