Center for Music Education ResearchMusic Education Research International (MERI) aims to disseminate recent research that contributes to global views of music education, which contains two different meanings. First, a global view pertains to various peoples, musics, or activities in music education worldwide. It cuts across geographic, cultural, political, and international boundaries. Second, a global view is a comprehensive view in music education. It refers to a broad definition of music education, in all settings (e.g., community, home, school, individual, and group), at all age levels from prenatal through the entire lifespan, and with regard to all aspects of music.
