Abstract: | The principle of using their national and local musics for the education and entertainment of indigenous children the world over needs no advocate. However, the problems in Africa of bringing into effect an unwritten music are somewhat unusual in that there are as yet no general text-books to guide musicians and teachers. Research with this purpose in view must first be undertaken. A handbook for the guidance of music research students has been published by the International Library of African Music near Johannesburg. |
