About Ron Dunn

Ron with Rodriguez:
The Official blurb:
Ronald Dunn holds a BA degree in Music from UC San Diego, and an MM in Ethnomusicology from Florida State University. His major instrument is the guitar, and his teachers include Randy Pile, Lisa Smith, Pepe Romero, Scott Tennant, Marc Teicholz, Bruce Holzman, John Schneiderman, Mesut Ozgen and others. He has performed as a soloist and in chamber music settings. In the area of ethnomusicology, his interests include music of coastal and highland Peru, as well as southeast Asia. He performed on guitar, charango and siku for several years with Aconcagua, Florida State University's Andean ensemble. He studied under the guidance of Dr. Michael Bakan and Dr. Dale Olsen. Dunn's Master's thesis focused on the music of the marimba in Tijuana, Mexico, where he conducted fieldwork, documenting and analyzing the interfaces of tourism, technology and tradition in the practice of this important art. His work in the area of tourism owes a great debt to Dr. J. Anthony Paredes. Mr. Dunn is a contributing author in the Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World, Vol. 2: Locations,  published by Continuum International Publishing.

Dunn joined the music department during the fall 2001 term as the department specialist in world music and guitar. He directs the guitar program and teaches Multicultural Music in America,  Intro to Music and Beginning/Intermediate African and African-influenced Percussion (Music 58).
