What is BAMER?
BAMER was established in 1989 as a collaborative project between the Australian Society for Music Education (ASME) and Associate Professor Robin Stevens (Research Editor of The Australian Journal of Music Education). BAMER is a database of music education research studies undertaken at Australian universities or by Australian music education researchers at overseas institutions. Currently, there are over 570 entries of ‘completed’ and ‘in progress’ research studies that include not only masters and doctoral theses and dissertations held in university libraries, but also smaller research studies such as research papers and other research reports undertaken for MEd, MMusEd and MMus degrees that are generally held only in departmental libraries or by the individual researchers concerned.
