Abstract

The historical path followed by research in music education is clearly defined and studied in the Anglo-Saxon context. In Spain there are several works that illuminate its journey and that serve as background for the design of an exploratory study in the Ibero-American field. This work provides an approach to the state of research in music education in Ibero-America, presenting its main researchers, journals indexed in the main databases and those relevant to the field, countries with scientific production and a general context of education and research in music education in each one of the countries that make up the Ibero-American community.
