Popular music education is a subject that is at present under-explored, despite increasing numbers of popular music courses and other educational provision. More research is needed to map out the area and engage critically with the many new challenges it is presenting. IASPM Journal, the journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music, wishes to encourage further research and debate in this area, with a special issue on popular music education. Drawing on the extensive contemporary and historical expertise of our cross-cultural membership, this collection of papers offers a wide range of perspectives on the processes of teaching and learning popular music.
