THE CALL FOR PAPERS OPENS IN SEPTEMBER 2019 and REGISTRATION IN EARLY 2020
Welcome
The 23rd International Pre-Conference seminar of Music in the School and Teacher Education Commission (MISTEC) is being held from July 28 to August 1, 2020 at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre
The mission of the Music in Schools and Teacher Education Commission (MISTEC) is to promote the development of research and innovations in theory and practice in the fields of music teaching in schools and teacher education. The Commission serves to support, develop and maintain international collaboration, coalitions and strategic alliances and exchange of pedagogical resources, innovative teaching approaches and experiences among professionals and institutions from around the world. The aim of the MISTEC Pre-Conference seminar is to engage participants, presenters, and commissioners in enriching dialogues and in hands-on experiences related to school music teaching and learning and to music teacher education by exploring current best practices and research.
As part of the inclusive, boutique-style Pre-Conference seminar that MISTEC is renowned for, we provide support for accommodation and food for presenters of spoken papers and workshops, and not posters. Accordingly, full attendance and participation in the pre-conference seminar is expected of all presenters. This facilitates a ‘shared purpose and understanding’, that enables the Commission to have a sustainable and ongoing impact beyond the conference period. Additionally, in 2020, to encourage presentation from areas where funding is not available for travel, we will have 3 travel awards available (to the value of US$1,200 each) to accepted paper and workshop presenters. Those wishing to be considered for the travel awards must indicate as such in their submission. See Call for Papers Section 1.1; Spoken Paper Requirements and 2.1; Workshop Requirements below*
The 2020 Music In Schools and Teacher Education Commission (MISTEC) Seminar encourages submissions focused around the theme of Broadening Access To And Engagement With Music Education. This theme supports the main ISME conference theme of Visions of Equity and Diversity. Accepted workshop and paper presentations from around the world will highlight ways to extend current theoretical and educational thinking, together with exchanging innovative practical approaches for music education and teacher education. The collaboration fostered through this intimate, dialogic seminar enables the shared development of educational policies and practices geared towards ensuring quality music education for all children.

Say hello to Tallinin, Estonia

The cities medieval history is obvious through its architecture, narrow cobbles street and squares and its historic wall of its Old Town. As the capital city of Estonia it has come under the influence of a number of other cultures including Russian, the Danes, Swedes and Germanic peoples.

The Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre (EAMT) is a public university of music and drama, offering higher education in all major fields of music and theatre through bachelor, master and doctoral programmes. Although with its approximately 700 students EAMT is the smallest among six Estonian public universities and university-level higher education institutions, internationally it can be compared to medium-sized music and theatre academies.
EAMT looks forward to welcoming delegates from around the world when they attend the 2020 MISTEC Pre-Conference seminar from July 28 to August 1, 2019 |
