The aim of ISME world conferences is to foster global understanding and cooperation among the world's music educators, by strengthening ties and sharing ideas about different aspects and issues within music education, in ways that promote music education for people of all ages throughout the world.
Music is an essential part of the human condition. For people of all ages, music plays an important and impactful role in their life experiences. Whether for leisure, livelihood, escape, or survival music helps many of us make sense of who we are and where we are going. The theme for the 2018 ISME world conference was Life’s Journey Through Music. This theme reflects the lifelong learning, lifespan development and life changing nature of music in people’s lives around the world. In Baku this theme was explored, interrogated, and performed . Ideas related to music as an integral component of the world we inhabit today and our hope for the future. |
ISME's eight Pre-Conference Seminars also examined this theme through the prism of Community Music, the Education of the Music Professional (CEPROM), Early Childhood, Instrumental and Vocal Teaching, Music in Schools and Teacher Education (MISTEC), Policy, Research and Special Education and Music Therapy.
