Where research meets practice in early childhood music education

MERYC England is a registered charity committed to advancing the musical education of children aged 0 - 5 years in England. It organises a biennial conference in England where current research and practice is shared, discussed and disseminated. These are joyous occasions that bring researchers and practitioners together. MERYC England also awards small grants each year to facilitate further enquiry into early childhood music, with a view to developing practice through research and reflection. A Board of Trustees, with the relevant skills, knowledge and experience, runs and organises these activities, as well as overseeing its effective operation as a registered charity. In keeping with its origins, MERYC England connects with its European partners at EuNet Meryc, through conferences and collaborative projects.
