Investigating a musicianGathering and weighing information on a musician from outside the Western tradition, and the impact of one performer on a genre.

Brief

Strand B is about listening to music, analysing it and seeing its place in society. The museum offers examples from the Islamic world and its neighbours on community, function and musicians' lives; your own analysis and other cultures come from your class. ¹
