Music Learning: Benefits for the 21st-century Learner

The Observatoire interdisciplinaire de création et de recherche en musique (OICRM) and the Fédération des associations des musiciens éducateurs du Québec (FAMEQ) will host the conference  ‘’Music Learning: Benefits for the 21st-century Learner’’ with the support of the Société québécoise de recherche en musique (SQRM), and the Journées francophones de recherche en éducation musicale (JFREM). This international conference, to take place at the Québec Conference Center, November 22 to 24, 2012, forms part of the activities of the Groupe de recherche en pédagogie instrumentale et musicale (GRePIM/Center of Excellence in Music Pedagogy) affiliated with the OICRM.

This event will bring together researchers and active practitioners in the areas of musical and instrumental pedagogy who study issues related to music learning and are interested in improving teacher practice. The conferences will focus on collective and individual learning of music in different contexts: school (preschool, elementary, secondary), college, university, and community music.

This conference will include scientific presentations by internationally respected researchers, conferences that pair practicing music teachers with researchers, scientific contributions (oral paper presentations and posters), narratives or analyses of practice and workshops. These events will take place in the two official languages of Canada, French or
English. Researchers in the area of collective music education, instrumental pedagogy researchers, professors and other staff that work in music or pedagogical institutions as well as practicing music teachers are the target audience for this exceptional conference.
