The 16th International Seminar, Hanoi National Conservatory of Music, July 10 to July 14, 2006
The 16th International Seminar of the Commission for the Education of the Professional Musician (CEPROM) was hosted by the Hanoi National Conservatory of Music from July 10 to July 14, 2006. The Vietnam Vice-Minister for Culture and Information, His Excellency Mr. Tran Chien Thang, officially opened the Seminar. The theme of the Seminar was “New Models for Educating Professional Musicians in the Twenty First Century.” Persistent themes that emerged throughout these papers were the musician’s portfolio career, issues of professional identity and personal development, learning in authentic contexts, comparison of teaching and learning approaches across different musical traditions and genres, independent learning strategies, and the embedding of generic skills in the music curriculum.
Twenty papers were accepted for the Seminar representing contributions from eight different countries. In addition, two sessions on Vietnamese music education were included. Four members of the academic staff of the Conservatory led by the Rector, Prof. Dr. Tran Thu Ha, addressed the Seminar on the work of the Conservatory and issues of music education in Vietnam. In these sessions there were also related talks by former CEPROM Chair Håkan Lundström and former CEPROM commissioner, Inok Paek. A highlight of the Seminar was a concert of Vietnamese traditional music by Conservatory faculty members and senior students. Delegates were astounded by the superlative artistry of the performers.
