Job Opportunity Potential
Musicologists research the history of music. They use diverse primary sources – newspapers, letters, diaries, concert programs and more – to situate musicians and listeners within rich historical and social contexts.
Ethnomusicologists ask how culture shapes music and how music shapes culture. By studying the practices, values and ideas related to music-making in a particular culture, they seek to make broader claims about social life in the modern world.
