During Weeks 5-8, you will plan and carry out a Fieldwork Project in the tradition of ethnomusicology. The subject of the Fieldwork Project could be anything from a colleague who plays acoustic guitar in a military unit to a local high school band or church choir. As you carry out the Fieldwork Project, you will explore music making by an individual or group as a music culture. The project must include a live listening experience and the opportunity to speak with musicians.The complete instructions for the Fieldwork Project are found under Course Resources. This assignment gives you the opportunity to explore a topic of interest, synthesizing your learning for the entire class: articulating the roles and functions of music in world cultures using the medium of music to explore intercultural relationships consciously defining musical perspectives identifying key features that define various genres of world music.In preparation for beginning the culminating Fieldwork Project, read “Doing Musical Ethnography” available as an eReserve under Course Resources.To review some examples of fieldwork and to learn about the work of an ethnomusicologist, visit the James Koetting Ghana Field Recording Collection. You will find field recordings, notebooks, images, interviews and musical demonstrations from his work during the 1970s.The Fieldwork Project is to be completed during Weeks 5-8 by carrying out 4 steps. The first step is due during Week 5. During Week 5:1) Choose a topic and find a live listening opportunity to hear and observe musicians participating in the music culture you have chosen.2) Secure permission to participate in music making or participate as an active observer.3) Confirm that you will be able to speak with at least one of the musicians.Submit the topic, live listening opportunity and confirmation that you will have the opportunity to interview at least one of the musicians at the Fieldwork Project Topic link, worth 5 out of the total 25 points for the entire project. You will receive feedback so you will know that you are on the right track before completing the Research Questions portion of the project during Week 6.

Question CXU5A Choose one of the four Scholars of Change videos and refer to your field notes from your observation. Access the transcript you downloaded for the media program of the Scholars of Change video you selected for this Discussion. Begin to code the transcript and the observational field notes of the Scholar of Change Video you chose. (Note: You will only need one or two codes for this Discussion, although more are acceptable.) Write a brief description of the video you chose. Next, include an example of one or two codes and provide quotes from your notes or transcript to support your example. Finally, explain your reasoning for this coding.

Prepare a brief explanation of your understanding of the meaning of positive social change thus far. Refer to the additional sources you have reviewed this week, and comment on how they are shaping your experience. Use the data you gathered from your analytic memo to support your explanation.

These parts include: Part 1: Introduction; Part 2, Role of the Researcher; Part 3: Results; and Part 4: Summary. For this Assignment , you will complete Part 1. In this Part 1, you will begin to examine social change from a graduate student perspective, explore positive social change as a research problem, and explore the gap in research. Part 1: Introduction Write a background statement of approximately 1–2 pages that includes: What you have learned about social change as a social issue. What you have learned about social change as a research problem. Support your insights with academic citations from the Learning Resources. Describe the gap that your study will address. From the gap, create a brief purpose statement that is aligned with the following research question: What is the meaning of social change for Walden graduate students?
