Volume D - 2006

Editors’ Comment:

We are very pleased to begin 2006 with a special issue of the IJCM devoted to the topic of “Music and Lifelong Learning.” This is the second time that we have been privileged to publish articles from a conference on this exceedingly important topic. In this case, the conference was held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the leadership of Professor Chelcy Bowles.

We are most grateful to the authors of these papers and abstracts, and to the special editors of this volume, Professor Bowles and Professor Debbie Rohwer, who worked so diligently to prepare these contents.
