TOPIC : “To identify new challenges for ethnomusicology in a global age”.CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTIONMusic can be defined as instrumental or vocal sounds that are concerted in a combinedmanner, which produces distinctive harmony, expression of emotion and beauty of form. It hasbeen analysed that, over the years music has been a part of both social and cultural aspects wheredifferent instruments along with vocal sounds gets change from one country to another. Apartfrom this, Ethnomusicology can be defined asstudy of music considering the two aspects andthese are culture and social who has developed it1. In present time, this type of study shows orputs light on various theoretical along with the methodical approaches that express differentaspects like material, cognitive, cultural, social, biological and many more other types of musicalbehaviour rather than considering isolated sound component. If it is talked about challenges forethnomusicology at international level then it can be said that, world is basically surrounded bynew musical encounters in present time as never before, and the experience of musics fromelsewhere is progressively affecting all arenas of the human conscience. Yet, why is it thatWestern listeners expect a certain cultural and ethnic 'authenticity' or 'otherness' from visitingartists in world music, while contemporary musicians in Western music are no longer bound bysuch restraints2.

technological advancements, change among perceptions of people related to music, shift ofinterest towards another ethno's values (national values) and many more could be considered asthe reasons, which brought new challenges for ethnomusicology at global age.Basically, it has been analysed that both social and musical structures stays linked withthe relation of close solidarity, and every reaction on the significance or the aesthetics of musicwill necessarily show the study of mentalities i.e. psychology. Along with this, musical factshave also been consists with high range of acoustic components and including this if it is talkedin a technical manner, which were also basically produced that has helped in identifying thedifferent range of gaps3. On the other hand, equally by its substance and by what it implies, byspiritual and social function, an attested psychological and possibly ritual efficacy, the roletraditionally assigned to its producers and receivers, and, finally, the appropriate methods oflearning and diffusion.Background of the research Ethnomusicology is study of the music in cultural and social contexts. It helps inexamine the music as social process to understand that not only the music it but it means toaudiences and practitioners.

For present investigation, the aim that has been developed i.e. “Toidentify new challenges for ethnomusicology in a global age”, which could be considered as rootof this whole investigation6.Research ObjectivesTo understand the concept of ethnomusicology.To identify the number of new challenges for ethnomusicology in a global age.To ascertain the impact of new challenges on ethnomusicology within global age.5Colmeiro, José.
