Ethnomusicology is the study of of the musical world: instruments, traditions and musicians.
Did you know that the Venda people of Southern Africa have no word "music" or "musician?" This is because they believe that everything is music and we are all capable of making it.
Did you know the Pygmies of Africa and the Ni-Vanuatu of Polynesia both share a very similar type of music known as "Water Drumming" despite being thousands of miles apart and have no traditional contact?
Delving into the study of Ethnomusicology teaches you to look deeper into cultures. You can trace the links between different ethnic groups and find one of the greatest common denominators of them all: Music.
