World Music Ensemble allows students to learn about the culture and music through the lens of nonwestern musicmaking.  Prof Griswold teaches students how to play the instruments, the rhythms and melodies that are needed to put the music together, and guides them through the process.  Due to budget restraints, World Music Ensemble is currently on pause.  If you would be interested in World Music Ensemble, please contact Dr. Aaron Humble at ahumble@csusm.edu
