[microsound] [ot] Learning musical instruments in non-Western socieities

[nick knouf <nknouf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Quite an off-topic post, perhaps, but it relates to my thesis work,  
which _is_ involved with new ways to make sound...

Anyway, I'm interested in books/chapters/papers that explore how  
people learn musical instruments / music instruction in non-Western  
societies.  My own experience is through structured instruction in  
the US, and I know that there is a continuum from self-instruction to  
hyper-structure (like in the Suzuki method).  Yet I want to know how  
this differs when music is embedded in a ritual process, when it is  
not so separate from regular processes of daily and social life, when  
it isn't representative of another form of schooling.

If there are ethnomusicological texts that touch on these issues, or  
other online forums that are more appropriate to my question, please  
let me know.

Thanks!

nick
