CFP: HEJMEC (Hellenic Journal of Music, Education and Culture) (journal submission)

HEJMEC (HELLENIC JOURNAL OF MUSIC, EDUCATION AND CULTURE)
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
DEADLINE: 31 OCTOBER 10

We would like to announce the establishment of the new electronic journal under the title HEJMEC (Hellenic Journal of Music, Education and Culture)

HeJMEC is an international open-access and peer reviewed journal devoted to critical study and critical analysis of issues related to the fields of Music, Education, and Culture.

HeJMEC draws its contributions from a wide community of researchers. Its reach is international since we want the publication to reflect a wide variety of perspectives from disciplines within the fields of music education and musicology. The journal is concerned with the dissemination of ideas relating to theoretical developments in the above fields and welcomes cross - and inter- disciplinary contributions of research and literature in the areas of music, education and culture.

Music and Education: The wide range of topics includes various aspects of music education (pedagogy, history, philosophy, sociology, psychology, technology, and aesthetics) addressing vocal, instrumental, general music at all levels, from early childhood through adult and comparative studies. Education is interpreted in a broad sense including all aspects of teaching and learning within formal and informal contexts (such as, musical development; socio-cultural issues; creativity; gifted and talented students; special needs; community settings; teachers’ professional development; curriculum design; assessment) in order, additionally, to challenge established accounts of music education policy-analytic methods and to explore alternative approaches to policy-making. Music and Culture: Our aim is to provide essential reading on different aspects of the study of music from a cultural point of view (ideology, music and words, music and society, music and postmodernism, music and genre,and so forth); also, to relate them with educational issues (music cultural policy, the learning process, the relationship to educational institutions, and so forth). The journal thus offers a unique forum for researchers to develop views on music as a social and cultural product, as part of human behaviour and in relation to broadly perceived educational issues at the leading edge of musical and multidisciplinary scholarship.

Every issue will include articles on the topics, case studies and book reviews. Articles in Greek or English will be accepted.

We welcome submissions for our forthcoming issues. The deadline for submissions for our next issue is 31/10/2010.

CFP: Teaching Music History Day 2009 (Edinboro Univ, PA)

TEACHING MUSIC HISTORY DAY 2009:

CRITICAL QUESTIONS AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES

EDINBORO UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

12 SEPTEMBER 2009, 8.00 - 17.00

www.edinboro.edu/departments/music/ams-tmh-day-2009.dot

The Pedagogy Study Group of the American Musicological Society, the Midwest Chapter of the AMS, and Edinboro University announce the sixth Teaching Music History Day, to be held Saturday, September 12, 2009. Teaching Music History Day is a forum for exchanging ideas on effective teaching, and is open to all who have an interest in teaching music history. We extend a special invitation to those whose primary discipline lies outside of musicology who teach music history, music appreciation, or related courses.

Call for Presentations

As the universe of what might be included in a music history course continues to expand, so does the challenge of charting a student’s exploration of that universe. What constitutes a representative sample of our musical world, if that is even possible? Should we neglect one quadrant in favor of another? For example, what should music students know about popular music idioms and their interface with other music? Does it make sense to scale back coverage of some of the canonic periods to make more time for popular music, new music, “world” music, or other areas? Most importantly, what are the goals and objectives of teaching music history that should determine such decisions? Similarly, the rise of new media and online pedagogical tools constitute new maps and new vehicles for exploration. With their focus on the Western canon, are music history textbooks the most relevant and effective tools? How can teachers employ blogs, wikis, and other Web 2.0 applications to help students create their own map of the musical universe?

The program committee (Matt Baumer, Daniel Burdick, Mary Paquette-Abt, Colin Roust, and Pamela Starr) welcomes papers, presentations, or teaching demonstrations that focus on these critical questions or new technologies. Please submit a brief 250-word abstract in the body of an email to mbaumer at iup.edu describing the question you wish to address and the mode of presentation. The deadline for submissions is July 24, 2009. Accepted proposers will be notified no later than August 15.
