Bill, who was raised in Boston, travels to several countries in Asia and Africa to enjoy different regional forms of music. How might he find his role as part of the audience different as he enjoys musical performances in many of those places?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary, but should mention that Western music makes a clear distinction between performer and listeners, whereas other traditions include everyone in the creation of music. Therefore, Bill may find that he will be expected to participate in creating music, rather than just passively sitting back and taking it in. In many cultures, there is less distinction between performers and listeners than there is in Western music.
