Hello I have been out of school for eight years and working as a professional musician, but am very curious about the possibility of applying to do an ethnomusicology / history of music PhD at some point in the next couple of years. The problem is that I have no idea where to begin - I am interested in African traditional music of various kinds, as well as American folk music. Anyone have ideas about the most appropriate programs to look at in the US / Canada? Many thanks!
