14th International Conference for Research in Music Education
22–25 April 2025 · Online
The aim of the conference was 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 and non-formal settings, equity, inclusion, technologies, instrumental teaching, teacher education, professional development, gender and culture. Music education is also viewed in the context of arts education, human geography, cultural sustainability, and knowledge within its sociocultural contexts.
