The 10th International Workshop on Folk Music Analysis will be held from 14th to 17th June 2022 at University of Sheffield, UK. This International Workshop brings together researchers from the fields of ethnomusicology, musicology and music information retrieval (MIR). It provides a forum that encourages sharing of ideas, needs, research methods and discoveries, among ethnomusicologists, musicians, librarians, students, museum curators, computer science experts and music information retrieval researchers. The aim is to foster cross-disciplinary collaborative networks and the development of new interdisciplinary tools and techniques that promote an enriched understanding of traditional musics and the preservation / dissemination of world musical cultural heritage. FMA2022 will be jointly organized with the Seventh International Conference on Analytical Approaches to World Music (AAWM).
Important dates:
- Submission deadline 18th March 2022
- Notification of paper acceptance 29th April 2022
- Uploading of camera ready artwork 20th May 2022
Submission Guidelines
- A paper can be submitted either as an extended abstract or a full paper.
Extended abstracts: An extended abstract may not be less than an A4 page and may not exceed two A4 pages, including headers and references. The goal of an extended abstract is to present in brief, the scientific context and objectives of the work, along with the adopted methods and results. All submitted abstracts will be peer reviewed. An accepted abstract must be revised according to the peer reviews before it is included in the online proceedings and it can be presented orally or as a poster, depending on received reviews and the evaluation outcome of the program committee .
Full papers: A full paper consists of four to six A4 pages, including headers and references. The goal of a full paper is to present in detail, the scientific context and objectives of the work, along with the adopted methods and results. All submitted full papers will be peer reviewed. An accepted full paper must be revised according to the peer reviews before it is included in the online proceedings and it can be presented orally or as a poster, depending on received reviews and the evaluation outcome of the program committee.

Computational approaches for educating a multicultural musicality
Everyone has the capacity for musicality, but to enhance specific musical abilities requires engaging in time-consuming educational activities. Most people listen to music using technologically sophisticated distribution platforms, but these platforms offer little support to help comprehend the music being played. Very little has been done on creating and promoting technologies to cultivate people’s musicality, even less from a multicultural perspective. To address this, we should better understand the auditory features and patterns that characterize particular music styles and we should design learning methodologies with which people can improve their listening abilities. I will exemplify my ideas with the research we have done on Hindustani, Carnatic, Turkish-makam, and Chinese-jingju musics. I will also discuss the need to combine approaches from cognition, computational musicology, and education.
Venue
The conference will be held at University of Sheffield, UK. You will also have the option to present remotely.
