Abstract

The Seminar of the International Society for Music Education Research Commission (ISME) is presented throughout the world as an international, high level academic community, where music education scholars meet to discuss the various advancements in music and music education. In 2018, the seminar took place in Dubai, UAE and enjoyed attendance from all the six continents. This report article not only communicates a functional summary of the event’s proceedings, but also critically approaches its impact in Dubai and the Middle East. Introducing advanced musical experiences, exchanging ideas on cutting-edge theories and major practices of music making and music education, proposing many constructive ideas on improved, efficient, balanced and sustainable thinking processes, and providing a fervent analysis of existing problems across the globe, this seminar has proven to express a brilliant dialogue, a clash of various modes of wisdom and a feast of thought. All forms of relevant communication, as this article proposes, comprise a glance forward into the future, creating a high-end and prudent platform for global communication and cooperation.

Keywords: ISME, Research, Music Education, Seminar, Music in Dubai.
