Exploring music education and psychology research
This SEMPRE Postgraduate Study Day is hosted by the Institute of Education, University of Reading and precedes the SEMPRE conference on 'Children’s musical worlds’ to be held on Saturday 25 October.

We welcome submissions from part-time and full-time students who are undertaking research in music psychology and education. Accepted submissions will be broadly organized into themes and presentations will be chaired by experienced researchers.
