Music for all, music with all: Equity and diversity in special music education and music therapy
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 for people with special needs; 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.

Say hello 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 2020 for what promises to be an exciting and valuable event Special Education and Music Therapy pre-conference seminar. |
