About the Conference

Event Theme: Music Cognition, Human Development, and Learning

ENCAM 5 offers a space for reflection and debate on music cognition, human development, and learning across different research contexts in music. Within each thematic symposium, participants will have the opportunity to examine, from the perspective of human development, the role of music in the constitution of the subject, including perceptual, sensory, affective, cultural, creative, and reflective capacities.

Musical education, across its diverse trajectories, highlights how learners construct specific forms of knowledge and develop modes of participation within local cultures and musical communities of practice throughout the lifespan. In the domain of musical learning, learning processes are not limited to the acquisition of technical skills, but rather involve continuous processes of meaning-making, creative management, self-regulation, and the development of expertise.

Thus, research that articulates music cognition, human development, and learning contributes to a broader understanding of how individuals learn, think, and become musically constituted. ENCAM 5 invites submissions that explore theoretical and empirical perspectives aimed at understanding music as a structured form of knowledge that is fundamental to human development, fostering significant advances in the field of music cognition research in Brazil.

PROGRAM

The event will be held in a hybrid format, combining in-person and virtual participation. The inclusion of remotely presented papers will broaden the reach of ENCAM 5, making it accessible to a larger number of senior researchers and early-career researchers, while also expanding access for the general interested audience.

The program will include keynote lectures, roundtable discussions, and research communication sessions (oral and artistic).

Keynote Lectures

The keynote lectures will address themes related to human development and learning from the perspective of music cognition, based on research conducted by nationally and internationally recognized scholars.

Roundtable Discussions

The roundtable discussions will promote debate on topics related to the conference theme, bringing together converging lines of research that offer different analytical and reflective perspectives. These sessions will include nationally and internationally recognized researchers.

Oral and Artistic Communication Sessions

In the Oral Communication and Artistic Communication modalities, researchers may submit abstracts presenting the results of their investigations for in-person or online presentation.
