Thinking about Fieldwork

What is field work? field work is a study of culture through people. Field work is special to ethnomusicologist because, it gives them insightful knowledge that cannot be researched. We are ethnomusicologist, we observe culture through stories and documentaries; outside a workplace setting. For example, a speaker comes to your local neighborhood; he talks about the Mexican-American culture in today's society. The Speaker speaks with a native accent; we immediately connect to his message. This is because we understand culture through accents and traditions.  As ethnomusicologist, the study of music through interpretation; can be developed by answering questions, that solve for the what, where, when, and how. Surveys and questionnaires can help correlate evidence to a general public. When Presenting a project about a particular field of study, please be sure to included experiences that can help exemplify the topic.
