Welcome Message from Commission Chair
With delight we invite you to Save the Dates (24-26 July, 2024) of our next in-person meeting. We are in the early planning stages for our Pre-Conference Seminar with grateful thanks to Metropolia University of Applied Sciences (Arabia Campus), Helsinki for hosting us. There will be 3 full days of presentations, workshops, posters and performances with a Conference Dinner on one of the evenings. Saturday 27th July you will be at leisure for local experiences and explorations as the ISME World Conference commence on Sunday, 28 July - 2nd August, 2024.
Purpose
The ECME Commission Pre-Conference Seminar provides an international forum for the exchange of ideas, development of dialogue, and collaboration among colleagues in research and practice, in order to support every child’s right to equitable and accessible music education and thereby enhance the quality of children’s lives. As related to the 36th ISME World Conference theme, Advocacy for Sustainability in Music Education, the theme for the 21st ECME Seminar will focus on Enhancing a Sustainable Future with Music in Early Childhood. As we look from our vantage point into the future of music in the lives of young children and in the world, we ask: What does it look like to fruitfully and beneficially nurture spaces for young children to experience and explore their personal musicianship, in connection to the diverse places within which they live and move, their communities and musical partners? How do environment and musicality interact to provide or rich spaces of well-being, personal expression, and communal interaction? How do we foster opportunities and maximize possibilities for every learner to engage in meaningful musical play and experience? By exploring how we as educators might enhance a sustainable future with music in early childhood, we aim to understand the many roles and situations our youngest learners are faced with from day to day, and how music-making, learning, and teaching can be best supported throughout our communities. The seminar will concentrate on examples of research and practice aimed at identifying, describing, and critically discussing aspects of a sustainable future for music in the lives of
young children (defined as prenatal through age 8 years). Highlights of the seminar will be keynote speakers, paper presentations, symposia, posters, workshops, and performances presented by participants from all over the world. Additionally, participants will have opportunities to attend concerts, participate in song sharing, and enjoy cultural experiences specific to our host country, Finland. We cordially invite researchers and practitioners interested in the musical lives of young children (prenatal through age 8 years) to submit their work for a spoken research, theoretical, or practice paper, poster, workshop, or symposium.
The 20th ISME Early Childhood Music Education (ECME) Pre-Conference Seminar is hosted by Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences - Arabia Campus, in Helsinki, Finland from July 24 to 26 July, 2024. We warmly welcome you to join us at Helsinki.

Welcome to Helsinki, Finland
|
Helsinki is a beautiful, small city. On the Baltic Sea and with lots of inlets, bays and islands it is very much a city of water. In the summer, when we will be there, you can find a wonderful open air food market right on the waterfront, where the tourist boats travel out to the islands. We look forward to welcoming you to Helsinki from late July 2024 for what promises to be an exciting and valuable early childhood pre-conference seminar. |
