Short profile:
British Forum for Ethnomusicology (BFE), an association devoted to the study of music and dance from all parts of the world. Interested as much in the people making music as the sound structures that are produced, British ethnomusicology draws from anthropology and the social sciences, as well as the arts and humanities. Members of the association thus often define ethnomusicology simply as 'the study of people making music'.
Detailed description:
The British Forum for Ethnomusicology (BFE) is an association formerly known as the International Council for Traditional Music (ICTM, UK Chapter). As an Affiliate National Committee to the ICTM, our aim is to advance the study, practice, documentation, preservation and dissemination of traditional music and dance, including folk, popular, classical, urban, and other genres, of all countries.
BFE is a body fiscally autonomous from any other organisation, and membership is
open to anyone interested in the study of music and dance from all parts of the world.
