DESCRIPTION:Constructing habits of mind to be skillful ethnographers when 
 moving to and settling into new communities\, identifying and understandin
 g the possibilities of engaging with communities and the criticalness of s
 uch engagement need to begin during the undergraduate experience. Upon gra
 duation we often find ourselves in new communities\, some of which are fam
 iliar but often times unfamiliar. If we are to make connections with cultu
 res and circles of music makers and educators in new settings\, then learn
 ing how to connect as an undergraduate student is critical. How do we ente
 r new spaces\, identify connectors\, and listen while engaging?  How do we
  foster habits of minds to be skillful ethnographers as undergraduate stud
 ents? These plus other questions will guide the discussion.\n\n*Bio\n\nBet
