Musicology / Matters: August 2009
http://musicologymatters.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 21, 2009. Syllabus - Music and the Global Metropolis. This fall semester, I will be teaching a course at Colby College entitled "Music and the Global Metropolis." I thought it might be fun and productive to post the syllabus minus audio examples here on Musicology / Matters and on my other blog, Rebellion on Two-Wheels. For commentary and public use. So please, do with it as you like within the limits of reason! Music 197 A: Music and the Global Metropolis. Kariann E. Goldschmitt. 183; app...

Musicology / Matters: October 2009
http://musicologymatters.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 27, 2009. So far from being wrong in that presumption was I that I quickly found myself actually delighted by the book! It is an absolute treasure. For starters, there is the most charming preface I have ever read. Some excerpts:. Then he talks about how it's easy to say what was sung in Vienna at Schubert's church, or at Notre Dame and Westminster Abbey; but what was sung forty miles away at Kuckucksdorf am Donau or Little Cucking? He holds no grudges, even against the atheists. He ...

Musicology / Matters: November 2009
http://musicologymatters.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 5, 2009. Lectures on your own stuff. Rather than embarrass myself by listing the many examples of interesting assumptions I made during my São Paulo unit, I thought I would add my own take on lecturing best practices. 1) Even if you disagree with a canonic point, lecture is not the time to complicate it. Save those problematizing discussions for individual meetings and small seminar situations. And finally, when in doubt, refer to other sage guides on lecturing. It can be quite fun.

Musicology / Matters: Sounds of Things To Come
http://musicologymatters.blogspot.com/2010/08/sounds-of-things-to-come.html
Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Sounds of Things To Come. In an upcoming issue of The Annual Review of Anthropology. There is an article co-authored by some well-known music scholars arguing for sound in anthropology. Just last month, a deadline arrived for a special issue of The American Quarterly. Academic presses are clearly on-board: there are now readers and handbooks in production or in press. Some institutions are even lending the interdisciplinary field some credence by explicitly recruiting sound ...

Musicology / Matters: February 2010
http://musicologymatters.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 3, 2010. Syllabus: Music, Media, and the Representation of Difference. It's that time of year again. Here is the syllabus for "Music, Media and the Representation of Difference," a seminar I am leading this semester. We had our first meeting today, and it looks like I have a very bright group of students. I'm quite pleased. (I should have posted this earlier, but my schedule really ran away with me. Normally I post syllabi before. They are finalized.). 102 Bixler Art and Music Center.

Musicology / Matters: November 2008
http://musicologymatters.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 2, 2008. It is conference season, and with it comes understandable professional pressures. As you may or may not know, I presented a part of my second chapter from my dissertation at SEM. Last weekend. In just a few days, I will be getting on a plane for Nashville to attend AMS. The good news is that I know what this is. And hopefully I will have this monster known as my chapter 4 relatively under control by a self-imposed due date hanging in the future. One can only hope.
