For music teachers primarily educated in Western Art traditions, however, the move from the familiar to the unknown, often seems a daunting task. Based on active participation in song, movement, and dance as well as the theoretical engagement with aesthetic, cultural, and social concepts of the musical traditions studied, this class facilitates an understanding of pedagogical approaches for the implementation of pluralistic musics into the music education curriculum. Studying and developing educational approaches will necessarily lead to discussions of originality, bi-musicality, and transculturalism, as well as to ethical considerations such as the appropriation and misappropriation of musical practices by cultural outsiders. The sum of these artistic and theoretical reflections leads to the development of curricular models for the teaching of world music in the class participants? music education settings.
