International Society for Music Education

The International Society for Music Education (ISME) was established in 1953 by the International Music Council of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to encourage music education as a profession and as an integral part of general education and community life throughout the world. Conferences have been held in 1955, 1958, 1961, 1963, and biennially since 1964. A number of commissions have been created, beginning with the establishment of the Development, Publications, and Research Commissions in 1968. ISME's Publications Commission oversees publication of the International Journal of Music Education (formerly the International Music Educator and Yearbook) and scholarly professional materials. The Research Commission sponsors Research Seminars; International Seminars are also held. ISME has been represented in over 35 countries by National Sections/Organizations and Regional Centers. Centers exist in Buenos Aires, Tokyo, and Bonn; additional centers are planned for African and Arab countries.
