SAME Conferences are often oversubscribed. Intending delegates are asked to note that anyone not attending on the day or leaving before the end of scheduled activities is depriving another colleague of a place, presumably someone else who would have attended and stayed for the whole day.

All sessions are open to all delegates. However, some are more suited to certain sectors of education and to colleagues working therein. Contributors have identified their sessions as suitable for one or more of the following categories :

N – Nursery, P – Primary, S – Secondary, ASN – Additional Support Needs,I – Instrumental, ICT – Technology, G – General, for all.

Exhibitors & Stallholders invited to attend :

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 14th Conference continues the Association’s aim to offer a wide variety of interesting topics to delegates.

It is open to all who work in music education in Scotland; nursery, primary, secondary, additional support needs – 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.
