Ethnomusicology
Ethnomusicology is a field that aims to promote better understanding of the world through the study of musical practices.
After a century of methodological discoveries and developments, the third millennium is seeing new challenges take shape, an expansion of the field of study and an increase in the potential career openings for ethnomusicologists: the flourishing of the ‘world music’ market, cooperation and cultural diplomacy projects, and the teaching of music from outside Europe - all these things constitute alternatives to the academic world. Deciding to train as an ethnomusicologist means acquiring the means to bring an enlightened form of listening to both European and non-European societies.
