This resource is a library of video demonstrations and explanations by musicians from various global traditions including Indigenous pow wow music and fiddling from Canada (Ontario), Cuban drumming and urban music, the mbira of the Shona of Zimbabwe, Balinese gamelan (Indonesia), classical music from North and South India, Persian classical music, and the maqam of West Asia and North Africa. The online guidebook incorporates videos that offer the musicians’ viewpoint through a dialogue between the authors and the musicians about some of the key ideas and practices of global music. The focus is on musical techniques, behaviours, and concepts, and their links to cultural knowledge. Accompanying each video is a short overview of each tradition, a biography of the musicians, a summary of the content of the video with time cues for the various topics addressed, a list of important terms, and suggested instructional materials.
