Empirical Musicology
A conference organised by the Institute of Musical Research in association
with the Society for Education, Music and Psychology Research (SEMPRE)
2-3 April 2008, Senate House
While the 'New' musicology of the 1990s brought cultural studies to
the heart of musicology, another less trumpeted but equally important
development has been that of empirical approaches to music: once seen as
the preserve of music psychology and sociology, there is a growing
realization that such approaches can be brought to bear on a wide range
of musicological issues and problems. This conference will explore the
diversity of empirical approaches to music today, and situate musicology
in the context of its disciplinary neighbours.
Programme committee:
Eric Clarke (Sheffield, Chair)
Nicholas Cook (RHUL)
Katharine Ellis (IMR)
Sue Hallam (Institute of Education)
Matthew Woolhouse (Cambridge)
The provisional programme for the conference and the booking form are now
available on the IMR website at www.music.sas.ac.uk
