WELCOME!
Welcome Message from Dr. Adam Greig, Conference Chair
Greetings to all from Chennai in Tamil Nadu, India. It is with great pleasure that we welcome you all to the 4th ISME South Asia Regional Conference 2023. As a UNESCO Creative City of Music, Chennai has been a centre for excellence in the Carnatic music tradition and boasts the two-month long Margazhi festival for music and dance across December and January annually. Home to The Music Academy, The Kalakshetra Foundation and the Tamil Nadu Dr J Jayalalitha Music and Fine Arts University we are glad to be hosting you all and hope that you will explore the rich cultural offerings of the state while you visit.
KM Music Conservatory was founded by renowned composer Dr A. R. Rahman in 2008 to become a hub of Western and Indian musical teaching embracing performance, musicology and music technology in order to help aspiring young musicians realise global dreams. Housed close to the Kollywood district (Tamil Film Industry) our campus also houses the KM Studio, The Sunshine Orchestra and the KM Showcase Lab Auditorium.
We hope that you will enjoy your time with us, and that you will be enriched by the wealth of knowledge sharing and discussion that you will find during the conference. The themes of multiculturalism and music advocacy are both so important as we chart out new frontiers in pedagogy in the ever changing global climate.
Looking forward to welcoming you soon!

Welcome Message from Sandra Oberoi, Conference Co-Chair
With the advent of exponential technologies and globalizing trends in knowledge generation and management – UNESCO's call to re-think the goals of education is timely. Several South Asian nations are revamping their educational policies to move from music as a means to support literacy and numeracy to deepen the scope of what music education should impart - creativity, critical thinking and communication. As we build a case for music advocacy, we are to advance music as an agent to build multicultural understanding and augment awareness of music’s position developing cognitive foundations that are crucial for education.
Proposals for individual papers presentations, panel sessions (symposia), workshops, posters and multimedia presentations are invited from participants world wide. ISME encourages submissions from researchers and practitioners at all career stages including graduate students and early career professionals that align with the conference theme and the needs and aspirations of music education throughout the region.
