Define music-culture. What are some of the different kinds of music-cultures listed in WOM? (Answers may vary.)

What will be an ideal response?



  • "A people's total involvement with music: ideas, actions, institutions, material objects—everything that has to do with music"

  • "A music-culture can be as small as a single human's personal music-culture, or as large as one carried by a transnational group. We can speak of the music-culture of a family, a community, a region, a nation. We can identify music-cultures with musical genres: there is a hip-hop music-culture, for example, a classical [Western art] music-culture, a jazz music-culture. We can identify sub-cultures within music-cultures: Atlanta hip hop, for example, within the hip hop music-culture . . ."
