ISME World Conference 2010: Welcome
Latest News
Important Information
The ISME World Conference in Beijing will cover every possible aspect of music education and learning. International specialists in music education and performers from many countries will be there. There will, of course, be many Chinese music educators and much Chinese music will be performed. This conference has every chance to become of significant importance for highlighting music education in China and the world.
An ISME World Conference is more like a fair than a conventional conference: there are paper presentations but also many round-table symposia and above all there are large sections of workshops, class lesson demonstrations, concerts and an exhibition of instruments or teaching materials.
The presenters of these different activities are music educators of all possible contexts and levels from all over the world. Many of these forms of presentation can be understood in spite of language differences. So this is not the kind of conference you go to only to present something. Being there and taking part of the activities is rewarding in itself and essential for the music educator's own professional development.
We'll meet in Beijing,
Håkan Lundström
