Abstract

Individuals create and experience music in the ever-changing socio political context. For an individual, being musical innovator doce not depend on solely personal talent or skill, but on the basic human capacity to "make" and "make sense of music, "change" the tradition or recrease the tradition, Ethromosicologists understand that change are natural forces in the musical culture where individuals have the role of the change makers. The musical individuals are considered to be the agents who give meaning to change social, cultural and musical systems in specific instances. Individuals' position acts as a corrective to an earlier ethnomusicological theory that music and musicians merely reflect or participate in larger cultural and social processes. Ethnomusicologists believe that the individual composers, compositions, performers and performances are the products, actors and participants of the social and cultural systems. Ethnomusicologists have long argued that besides the performers and composem, the listeriers and others who participate as patrons, organizers, producers and sound engineers should be considered musicians, and that they deserve to be studied at seriously as performers and composers. It is to note that the musical knowledge varies within communities depending on individual motivation and ability in response to community options and demands and that musician do not know all aspects of a tradition to the same degree. Ethnomusicologists register the differences of interpretation and experience that result from stratification along the lines of age, social class, occupation, education, and urban versas rural residence of the individuals. In fset, individuals were largely absent in favor of reports on the general principles of musical style and its relationship to culture. However, the individuals began to appear in response to changes in theories of culture and in response to an increasing interest in the histories of traditions.
