ISMERoutledge Book Series

In partnership with Routledge, ISME publishes two series of books about music education, each with a dedicated theme:

Global Issues in Music Education:

Proposals for monographs, edited books and practitioner-facing publications are welcome from researchers and practitioners presenting a key theme within one area or collaborations from cross-commission groups (including commissions and special interest groups). Publications within this strand will focus critical thought in a single issue and/or drive policy and practice forward through new resources, approaches, pedagogies and insights.

Specialist Themes in Music Education:

Proposals for edited books and practitioner-facing publications are welcome from Commissions, Special Interest Groups, Forum and Standing Committees. Publications within this strand will draw on the cutting-edge research being carried out within ISME areas and provide a site for deep critical interrogation of the issues at hand and/or resources for practitioners based on the work of the Commission/SIG/Forum/Standing Committee. Mini-series (of up to three progressive and connected publications) are also welcome in this strand. Examples of mini-series might be a scholarly work with accompanying practitioner resources, or a sequence of books to launch a new area of work.

These provide members of ISME and their colleagues with the opportunity to participate in specialist music education publications of scholarly and instructional work.
