This conference seeks to investigate and promote the breaking of new ground within and between our fields of music study: musicology, ethnomusicology, popular music, jazz, music therapy and music education. ‘Voyages of Discovery’ relates here to intellectual travel; the charting of new territory within music disciplines; and interdisciplinary journeys. To register for the conference and reserve a room at The University of Auckland's O'Rorke Hall, please download, complete and return the forms at right.
