Early Childhood Music Education

July 15-19, 2014

Theme: "Listening to Diverse Musical Beginnings"

Venue:

The Universidade de Brasilia, Brasilia, Brazil

 

The Early Childhood Music Education commission provides an opportunity to explore the fascinating and multifaceted musical worlds of children.

July 2014 will mark the 16^th anniversary of the ECME Seminar. The ECME community of researchers, scholars, practitioners and attendees will reflect on the pedagogies of the world which guide children's musical beginnings.

With Katherine March as keynote speaker we will have an interesting start of the seminar.

We will listen to diverse musical beginnings at home, in school and in communities and

we will explore the role of technology and media in children's musical beginnings.

The ECME seminar is about sharing knowledge, practise and research in many respects.

This international forum also brings together diverse cultural perspectives on children, childhood and music education.  Next to presentations of research and practise papers, posters and workshops there will be moments

of singing together and discussion groups each day.

Brasilia town and the Departamento de Música will offer us a perfect place to stay.
