A few things we’re great at
Commissions
The eight ISME Commissions offer members opportunities to explore a specialised area in greater depth than might otherwise be possible. Through the Commissions, ISME members share mutual interests and gather, collate and disseminate information on developments in their specialised fields within music education.
