CDIME10 CONFERENCE

MONDAY 11 - WEDNESDAY 13 JANUARY 2010

Conference theme: THE CULTURAL AESTHETICS OF TEACHING
Increasingly, scholars are turning their attention to the development and use of culturally appropriate pedagogies that match the music they chose to teach. Tensions between ways of teaching, what happens when music travels to new teaching and learning settings, the outcomes of mismatches between culturally developed learning styles and teaching methods in music, how teachers adapt methods to suit learners from different learning backgrounds - all of these are issues on the agenda if music education is be truly culturally diverse. Proposals on other topics relating to cultural diversity in music education are also welcome.
