Music education is key for a sustainable future of both our societies as well as for music as an art form and as a social practice. AEC, EAS and EMU cover the whole range of institutional music education from kindergarten to higher education, and will at this webinar jointly address challenges and opportunities of music education now and in the future. The webinar organised by AEC, EAS and EMU will be hosted by EMC and take place on 5 February 2020 from 10:30-12 CET. More information will come soon.

Please find more information on the EMC website.

We are pleased to announce that the 10^th annual Doctoral Student Forum for Music Education will be held online. The Forum takes place from Tuesday, March 23^th until Thursday, March 25^th 2021.

EAS Special Focus Groups (SFGs) are working groups of EAS members. Each provides a forum for the involvement of individuals, drawn together by a common interest in a field of study, teaching or research.

Jonas Völker (DE), PRiME Coordinator

Philipp Ahner (DE), DigiTiME Coordinator
