Abstract

The Malaysian Journal of Music, Volume 10, Issue 1, comprises six articles that present current issues in ethnomusicology, music education and composition from Thailand, Philippines and Italy. Four articles on music education emphasise the importance of musical activities in enhancing social and emotional skills, the importance of integrating local approaches to teaching traditional music and the development of the music curriculum in public and private institutions. This volume presents one article on practice-led research which highlights the art of practice as research. This methodology is an approach to research that is gaining popularity among music researchers. An article that frames the compositional techniques of two composers from different regions of the world under a western philosophical concept is also presented.
