African Music and Dance Performance
African Music and Dance Performance () is a credit-bearing course that introduces students to various East African music and dance traditions.
The class offers a rich, hands-on experience to students with or without a musical background, and enrolled students obtain one (1) credit. As an ensemble, the students learn African songs and dances. They also master musical instruments such as bow-harps, thumb-pianos, xylophones, tube-fiddles, bow-harps, shakers, gourds, bells, and drums. The course involves regular ensemble rehearsals, culminating in an end-of-semester concert.
