APSMER conference in Perth

It is exciting to soon be giving presentations at the Asia-Pacific Symposium for Music Education Research (APSMER) conference in Perth, Australia.

APSMER is the Asia and Pacific regional conference of ISME, a global organization for which I serve on the Executive Committee and Board.

My presentations this year include (1) a co-authored paper with Koji Matsunobu that expands further on the concept of eco-musicality that we propose as a basis for philosophy of music education, and (2) a symposium presentation with Jiaxing Xie on our new book (now in the final editing stages) called A Philosophy of Music Education for the Era of AI: Dialogue between Chinese and Western Perspectives (Routledge).

We will also launch an innovative project that has been in development for several years, the Open Global Music Academy (OGMA) network, which will now be affiliated with APSMER.

I look forward to seeing colleagues and learning about the latest research in this field from across the Asia and Pacific regions.
