In this podcast, Carol and Brad reflect on the recent TMOHE virtual conference hosted in Melbourne, and share a range of different reflections and takeaways from the event, discussing how the experience enabled a range of global perspectives and research initiatives, combined with authentic teaching practices to be shared. They highlight how the virtual space allowed for rich, engaging interaction across different time zones, experiences, for both music educators and non-musicians. They talk about the way that by being forced to transfer their proposed in-person conference to an online experience, the authenticity and reality of the keynotes, workshops, Q and A's, and papers were all enhanced.
