Research on Rhythmic Music and Education in the Nordic Region

On Thursday, September 29 will be a symposium in Bergen, Norway on popular music and education (often called "Rhythmic Music" in Nordic schools). Special guests will be in attendance who do innovative research related to this topic. The symposium is hosted by the Centre for Arts, Culture and Communication (Bergen University College - linked below), and coordinated by Dr. Catharina Christophersen. Several experts from outside Northern Europe have suggested that Nordic schools and higher education institutions may currently be the most advanced in the specialized field of popular music education, with especially effective pedagogical approaches, so it will be interesting to see what insights emerge from this symposium.
