What is Musicology anyway? Or Ethnomusicology, Music Analysis, Popular Music Studies, Music and Critical Race Theory, and more besides? What about the difference between studying music at a University or Conservatoire? This video, introducing the channel, gives an overview of what musicology is and what musicologists do.

I’m a musicology graduate and am so thrilled to finally see someone on CZcams trying to explain what musicology is to more and more people. Looking forward to your upcoming works! :)))
After more than two decades spent playing music, composing, improvising, collecting scores and digging up new material to listen to, I finally decided to go back to school and study musicology. Your channel was created around the exact same time. What were the odds? Thank you for your content. Your enthusiasm is contagious! I can not wait to see all the exciting things you have to share with us. All the best to you, Mr. Elphick :)
Hi, it's fantastic that you're returning to study! Thanks very much for your kind words, hope the content lives up to your expectations. Very best of luck with the course! Dan.
Thank you! Considering what I have read from your work on Mieczysław Weinberg, I am pretty sure I will not be disappointed ;) Keep up the good work!
This is perfectly timed. I have been a musician for about 15 years and a guitar teacher for 5, and just recently came across the term musicology. I’m very interested to learn more about it!
Could you recommend some books or other things to read?
Please keep making videos you re awesome
*blushes* thank you! There's lots more videos planned, don't worry!
Beautiful! Please keel it coming!
Love this Dan! 🎶🔥
Thanks Tim!
Here from reddit. thanks for posting there and here.
I'm from Nigeria and it feels soo cool and educative subscribing to your page.
Tim Eriksen is a musicologist himself. He teaches at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.
Hi! I'm interested on doing a research on uruguayan (I'm chilean) musician Eduardo Mateo. The problem is that I have a degree on filmmaking. I've been a musician all my life, but I don't have any degree to show my knowledge on that area. Do you think I'd be admisible for master programs in the UK? Do you know if I have more chances to try that on France (I speak french too) ??
If someone asks me, what musicology is, I tend to answer "It´s everything of music, except making it" (Even if there are a lot of musicologists who are also making music)
What is musicology? The critical study of how humans interact with relationships in sound. How's the for a definition?
I graduated in 2020 with a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance, but I want to do a Masters in Musicology. I feel this deep need to study it, however I have no guidance, I don’t know any musicologists in my life, my music history professor was close to retirement and stopped caring about his job and students long ago (tenure) and then promptly retired and fucked off to Maine. I’m also insecure about my research and writing skills as a performance degree isn’t really meant to hone those skills. Do you have any advice? Or would you be willing to make some videos for people like me who are interested in the field but have no guidance/don’t know where to start?
EDIT: If it helps, I’m interested in studying Latin American/Spanish music, Ladino music, art song & poetry, opera (I haven’t really narrowed it down yet but I figure that’s okay at this point in my education).
I would like to know which two books on musicology I should buy.
Please skip the background music next time! It’s very distracting. Otherwise I would have loved the video
I think it is good to deconstruct the older theories and boundaries. Thanks, from Sri Lanka
I can't watch this. Two things are distracting me.
What a jerk
