Mission
The mission
of the ISME Research Commission is to:
- examine through research important issues
facing music education worldwide;
- develop, refine and demonstrate a range of
research approaches, methods and techniques for critically examining issues in
music education;
- provide a forum for the communication,
critical analysis, and dissemination of research innovations in music
education; and
- deepen and develop the research knowledge
base for practitioners, policy makers, and researchers in music education.
The
Research Commission accomplishes its mission by providing workshops, lectures,
seminars, and demonstrations in different locations in order to build research
capacity and to promote research expertise in all regions of the ISME
membership. Commission seminars bring together early career and experienced
researchers from a broad geographic representation.
General Information
The
Research Commission seminars bring together a broad range of participants from
the various branches of music including music psychology, performance, theory,
composition, sociology, and musicology. A common interest in the pursuit of
inquiry and scholarship contributes to a learning environment for early career
and experienced researchers alike that is characterised by hard work, strong
scholarship, and collegiality.
