The 4th CFMAE / 7th MERYC Conference will be hosted by Tallinn University in Tallinn, Estonia, from 5th to 9th May 2015. The main topic of the conference is “Playful Sounds – Personhood”.
The aim of the joint international conference CFMAE-MERYC2015 is to bring together educators and researchers as well as practitioners in order to promote and generate new ideas about education and its impact in music and the arts.
The focus of MERYC is interdisciplinary discussion and dissemination of new, unpublished research relating to the field of music and early childhood (0–8 years) in education (school and extracurricular contexts) and everyday life, both in theoretical research and innovative approaches to practice. The hosting CFMAE conference supports the focus of MERYC within a larger context of music and art education as well as related interdisciplinary fields.
