Description: This chapter provides an introduction to the musical challenges and opportunities presented by cultural diversity and integration of the world's musics in the early twenty-first century, an age of access. If communications in the twentieth century made the world a smaller place, this century has shrunk it to fit in out pockets on our smartphones and iPods, while travel and immigration has brought diverse cultures into out neighbourhoods. This chapters deals with three issues arising from this access. The first concerns out cultural response to its opportunities. The second concerns the educational and learning implications. The third concerns understanding some of the technical features of unfamiliar (or cross-cultural) musics-particularly those that arise from combining or blending different musical styles.
