The Scottish Association for Music Education exists to support and provide initiatives in the curriculum for the teaching and learning of music in Scottish schools.

The 17th Conference continues the Association’s aim to offer a wide variety of interesting topics to delegates and complements current development in Curriculum for Excellence. It is open to all who work in music education in Scotland; nursery, primary, secondary, additional support – class teachers, music specialists and instrumental staff. Up to 500 delegates can be accommodated over two days in this year’s venue – Stirling University.

It is hoped that the perceived and pressing need for support of the music curriculum can continue to be addressed through this opportunity for delegates to tackle a range of issues relevant to their own needs.

Contributors have been identified for their expertise and are experienced practitioners in their field.

Free membership of SAME is available to all involved in music education in Scotland.
