Call for Papers - Deadline 31 October 2012
The aim of the conference is to gather together researchers, teachers
and practitioners to share and discuss research that is concerned with
all aspects of teaching and learning in music: musical development,
perception and understanding, creativity, learning theory, pedagogy,
curriculum design, informal settings, music for special needs,
technologies, instrumental teaching, teacher education, gender and
culture. Music education is also viewed in the context of arts
education, the whole curriculum and its socio cultural contexts.
