ISME Series in Music Education
About the Book Series
- The ISME Global Perspectives in Music Education Series encompasses publications that focus critical thought in a single issue and/or drive policy and practice forward through new resources, approaches, pedagogies and insights.
- The ISME Specialist Themes in Music Education Series includes books that draw on the cutting-edge research being carried out within ISME areas and provide a site for deep critical interrogation of the issues at hand and/or resources for practitioners based on the work of ISME Commissions, Special Interest Groups, Forum and Standing Committees.
Each series offers a focused conduit through which members of ISME and their colleagues can publish scholarly and instructional work.
Proposals are welcome!
To be included in, contribute to, and/or submit a proposal, authors must be (or become) a member of the International Society for Music Education (ISME).
