Call for Papers and Demonstrations/Workshops
Department of Performing Arts, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Kyambogo University is organizing the 4th International Music Education Conference in cooperation with the Faculty of Education and International Studies, Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway.
Conference Dates: March 21st – 24th, 2023
Aim of the Conference
Music educators are faced with challenges arising from changing circumstances in which they work, and many educators find innovative ways of supporting music learning experiences. These situations have exposed various gaps between music in society and in teacher education, which again influence music education practice. The aim of this conference is to interrogate how music educators can innovatively understand and manage change and its effects on the practice of music education in schools, Kindergartens and institutions of higher learning.
Scholars, researchers, music educators, teacher educators and musicians are invited to submit proposals for research papers, demonstrations, and workshops.
