Online Cafe: History of Music Education

I look forward to hosting the next Online Cafe of the International Society for Music Education. As Chair of ISME's History Standing Committee, I was invited to develop this event, and asked one of the HSC's most active members Craig Resta to serve as co-host.

We are hopeful this event will generate more interest in how we can better understand issues and practices in institutions through a historical perspective. Below are details:

Next ISME Online Cafe:

How History Matters in Music Education: Opportunities and Methods

Hosts: David G. Hebert and Craig Resta

Schedule: Tuesday, 30 April '24 at 16:00 Paris Time

Concept:

History enables us to understand conditions, practices and issues in music education, how and why they have changed across time, and to see new possibilities for the future. History tells the stories of music education. What are the meaningful stories from your personal and professional life in music? In this interactive session, presenters and participants will explore how history can influence and impact (your) music teaching and learning.

The ISME Online Cafes are offered as free outreach, so anyone can join. They last for about two hours. Details can be obtained by scanning the QR code in the poster displayed above.

Welcome to Sociomusicology

For a decade (since 2007), this website has offered musings on contemporary society and its music by David G. Hebert, PhD. He is a sociomusicologist specializing in global music education who has held academic positions with universities on five continents. Dr. Hebert is now a tenured full Professor with Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Bergen. There he leads the Grieg Academy Music Education (GAME) research group and manages the multinational government-funded Nordic Network for Music Education, which organizes annual intensive Master courses and exchange of teachers and students across eight countries. He is also a Visiting Professor in Sweden with the Malmo Academy of Music (Lund University), and an Honorary Professor in China with the Education University of Hong Kong.

Professor Hebert's research applies an international-comparative perspective to issues of pluralism, identity, and cultural relevance in music education, as well as processes by which new music traditions emerge and change - both sonically and socially - as they are adopted into institutions. Born in the 1970s, he is among the most widely-published and globally-active music scholars of his generation (h-index:20; i10-index:28), with professional activities in an average of 8 countries per year across the past decade (2008-2020).
