Closely related to the themes introduced in Thessaloniki at the ISME MayDay Symposium, on Music Education and The Creative Economy, I invite you to read this Canadian authored report. Note that music is discussed in two distinct sections, recording and performance, as well as in interdisciplinary contexts, which is significant on a number of levels. Of particular interest is the lack of discussion of the role of K-12 education, as it is not very well researched at all on that level.

A future post will include a copy of the papers that Scott Goble, Daniel Johnson, and I presented in that cavernous concert hall in early July 2012.
So, what is the role of music education in digital music making and recording contexts?
I look forward to discussion on this innovative and timely topic.
