The focus on socio-cultural formation and on musical practice is encouraged by the participatory approach the program offers.Īnother distinctive feature of the University of Hawai‘i is that ethnomusicology is an integral part-both in organization, and in spirit-of the Music Department. Participation in musical activity is an integral part of the University of Hawai‘i program, as is the study of theoretical problems such as the relation of music to social change, globalization, identity, diaspora, politics, commerce, dance, and theater. The program is committed to close mentoring of students and helping students to develop a broad network of contacts. Hawai‘i’s mid-Pacific location and proximity to Asia and Pacific Basin countries ensure frequent contact with musicians, scholars, and institutions from all over the region. It is situated in a unique geo-cultural environment known for its diverse population and great variety of active and vibrant music cultures.
