Description:

Timothy Rice, Professor of Ethnomusicology at the University of California, Los Angeles, discusses the future of the study of music at UCLA, including the proposed founding of a School of Music to combine the existing departments of Music, Musicology and Ethnomusicology, and what some of the core goals of the School will be. He also discusses the essential role that creativity plays in music education, and how UCLA hopes to recapture some of that energy in their music programs.
