12th Asia-Pacific Symposium for Music Education Research

Initiated by the Research Commission of the International Society for Music Education (ISME, https://www.isme.org), the Asia-Pacific Symposium on Music Education Research (APSMER) was founded in 1997 by three founders, namely, Prof. Tadahiro Murao from Japan, Prof. Gary McPherson from Australia, and Prof. Hong-soo Lee from Korea. The name of APSMER (Asia-Pacific Symposium on Music Education Research) was proposed by Prof. Gary McPherson. It has provided a forum for Asia-Pacific researchers, graduate students and teachers in music education to meet every two years. The APSMER has become the regional conference of ISME in the Asia-Pacific region in 2007. The symposium aims to share knowledge and experience among music educators in the Asia-Pacific region and to provide opportunity for music educators to develop networks and work collaboratively in advancing the theory and practice of music education
