Studying Music?

Has anyone studied music on their travels, or specifically
travelled somewhere in order to do this? Or done field
research in music (ie ethnomusicology)?
Please share your stories... it's something I am definitely
planning on doing soon... Javanese/Balinese gamelan and West
African drumming are well-worn paths but I'm also interested
in Taiko drumming (Japan) and conch shell orchestras
(Sulawesi)etc. Does anyone else have any ideas for trips?
Let's talk about it.

   it's kinda cheesy, but yahoo has a list of companies
   offering music-based tours. it's probably too commercial for
   your needs, but there might be something there that gets you
   thinking:
