The Vernacular Music Center at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, is a center for in-depth and comparative research, study, teaching and advocacy on behalf of the world's vernacular musics and dance. The Center was founded at Texas Tech in the Fall of 2000 under Executive Director Dr Christopher J Smith. The VMC states that it "engages with folk music, traditional music and dance from around the world: vernacular idioms that are learned, taught, shared, and passed-on by ear and in the memory."〔http://www.vernacularmusiccenter.org/what-we-do.html〕 The term "vernacular" is employed in its title in order to allude to "vernacular languages"—those languages used for commonplace communication—and in order to avoid potentially limiting terms such as "folk," "traditional," or "non-Western." The VMC offers a range of programs, partnerships, scholarships, certificates and activities and events for students, educators and the public. ==History, naming and purpose== The Vernacular Music Center was founded at Texas Tech University in the winter of 2000 under Executive Director Dr Christopher J Smith.〔http://www.rootsmusicinstitute.com/director.html Retrieved July 2013〕〔http://www.examiner.com/article/ttu-vernacular-music-center-holds-first-multi-ensemble-outreach-meeting TTU Vernacular Music Center holds first multi-ensemble outreach meeting By: L.B.
