OUR STORY

The International Association for Creative Music and Movement Education was formed in 2019 by a group of music educators from four areas in the Asia-Pacific region, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China.  Arts education in some areas often lack government support and schools struggle to find educators that can integrate music and movement with the rest of the curriculum.  University teacher education in the arts tends not to prepare teachers for the demands of the education system.  IACMME members fill the needs of these teachers by offering workshops and courses in-country and on-line to develop music and movement teaching and learning strategies.

MISSION STATEMENT

The International Association of Creative Music and Movement Education (IACMME) is dedicated to the promotion of inclusive and effective music education though the use of creative, active pedagogies.  This organisation acts as an umbrella organisation for the facilitation of solid artistic learning through Orff, Kodály, Dalcroze and other tested pedagogies as well as new versions.​
