We're online again
I'm really sorry tat it took some days to get back online! I will still be working to get everything back up, but at least this is a beginning. What happened was that the server was being upgraded at the same time as I unknowingly was updating some scripts - and - well I ned up writing a new, faster and simpler system, but that requires that all information is progagated. Which will happen soon! The advantage is that all links etc will be verified, and that the old structure might actually be improved. Thanks for your patience!Call for papers ISPME 2010

About Musped.org
Musped.org is an attempt to make a webpage which can operate as a framework for cooperation amongst research student and researchers within the field of music education in the Nordic countries - or whereever really.I mentioned making such a meeting point as muspd.org at a nordplus conference in 2003, and someone then mentioned thet we could use it to share material, notes and other interesting things others might benefit from access to. To avoid breaking any coyright laws or just to protect material from bing let out in the open for other reasons, material can be for menbers only - these possibilities exist, but are dependant on participation and some level of interest beyond my personal agenda... For the the time being, a links section for sharing interesting webspaces and a list of conferences combined with the news-updates constitutes the content of this page. I do believe the link section and the conference list to be the most complete for music education on the web.
I really hope we can use and help each other here at musped.org!
