Basic Assumptions
1. A relativistic view that no musical style is better than
another.
2. World music embraces a group of musics
3. The Three-Part Model of Music:
a. Sound (6 Fundamentals of Music)
Melody, Rhythm, Texture, Tone Color (Timbre),
Dynamics, Form
b. Behavior – kinds of activities that go into music
making
c. Conception or ideas – what is the society’s idea of this
music? How does it relate to other aspects of society?

“I think music in itself is healing.
It’s an explosive expression of
humanity. It’s something we are
all touched by. No matter what
culture we’re from, everyone
loves music.”
Billy Joel
