Wow! I didn’t want this conference to end. There were a number of inspiring papers from scholars who came from all over the globe and Australia too. Over three days we presented our individual keynotes inside the impressive Melbourne Conservatorium of Music. I learned a great deal during this short period and met some wonderful people. Also, finally visited the Percy Grainger museum which was very exciting.
