Methodology!

'Ethnomusicology - A Short Introduction' by Timothy Rice
This is an excellent book, for anyone involved with music in any form, but especially if you're going to be doing a research study into Community Music...
On the subject of ethics and collating and recording music and song, where do we stand on ownership, permission to share and copyright? Timothy Rice sums it up very will at the end of the Chapter on 'Conducting Research', as follows;
'Successful fieldwork is impossible without the friendship and cooperation of those with whom ethnomusicologists study. At its best, field "work" can feel more like play. But it must eventually be turned into interpretive and practical work: writing books and articles that answer questions about the nature of music, teaching in university settings, and helping people and communities with the everyday problems they face.'
I think I know what I'm meant to be doing now!
