II-Decolonizing – Understanding Your Tuning Enculturation - (L5)

Brissenden, Philip

Abstract

This is the second in a collection of four undergraduate lectures on the subject of musical tuning and perception of tuning. The lectures examine the subject from a number of perspectives, developing contextual historical understanding of tuning in the west, appreciation of tuning and musical enculturation, technical aspects of tuning and tuning theory and invented tuning systems and tuning within other musical cultures across the world. Decolonizing the music curriculum is at the heart of the education strategy - at the end of the series students will be able to create music outside the boundaries of western tuning with appropriate cultural sensitivity.

This lecture is taught at level five it revises the historical material presented at level four, but from a more specific decolonization perspective.
