following the subjects evolution of music, folklore studies and research
methodology participated in this field visit.
An important feature the students learned was the importance

also observed numerous historical and cultural aspects related to village life
and occupations. In addition to this they received the experience of collecting
data in the field, how to prepare for a field visit and how to identify the
