Prof. Wade's book is an excellent guide to teaching ethnomusicology at the undergraduate level. I am teaching a world music class with primarily inner city minority students at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY, who are taking the course to fill general education requirements. The exercises are highly relevant to any investigative discipline in the social sciences, and have the added pleasure for the students of relating to music.
