Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an overview of the current state of musicology, the study of music history and scholarship, in the United States. In the past few decades, musicology has gained recognition as an independent field of study, and this book provides an analysis of the methods and aims of musicological research and investigation. This survey of university instruction in musicology indicates that, while many universities offer introductory courses in musical history, relatively few provide advanced instruction that would prepare students for graduate work in the field. The book also examines the practice of granting advanced degrees for work in musicology, and finds inconsistencies in the requirements for these degrees. The author concludes that, while there has been progress in the recognition of musicology as a field of study, there is still a need for more uniform standards and greater support for graduate work in the field.
