"IDEAS in music education and music therapy: Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, Sustainability"
The Commission pre-conference seminar focuses on equity, diversity and inclusion with particular reference to special music education and music therapy. Its purpose is to advance practice, research and theory, as well as to promote interdisciplinary dialogue between practitioners and scholars in the wider field of music and health.
While retaining the overall conference theme at its heart, the Commission pays specific attention to contemporary pedagogical practices and curricula with and for disabled people; therapeutic interventions and applications of music within diverse settings within and beyond special education; socio-cultural and interdisciplinary perspectives on music practices for promoting people’s health and wellbeing.
