Draft 2, with the appreciation that Draft 1 was illegal per "only establishing a body".
Quote:The General Assembly,
Recognising that the pursuit of creation and enjoyment of music must be approached as an intersection of artistic, cultural, and academic expression;
Delighted that music as an artform can cross time, space, and cultures, in order to bring sovereign nations and peoples closer to one another;
Applauding the foundation that GAR#86 Museums of Musical Heritage provides for the protection and promotion of the musical arts, however;
Dismayed at the glaring lack of protections and promotions for the arts, in particular the musical arts, and especially with respect to the intellectual and academic approaches to musical expression;
Confident that professional musical assessment and examination after thorough education is the most effective way through which to ensure both high quality musicians and musical culture is developed;
Appreciating that the challenge of the constantly evolving nature of music, accounting for popular culture shifts over time, requires consistent monitoring and progressive development of pedagogical standard;
and Affirming that those who wish to practice, perform, and contribute in a non-professional and non-assessed manner should be able to do so without hinderance or prejudice, whilst retaining the right to equally benefit from the development of their peers who are so trained;
Hereby
Establishes the Music Education, Examination, and Assessment Board (MEEAB), to:
1. Advocate for the musical arts as both a legitimate and exemplary method through which cultural expression may manifest;
2. Protect and promote the unique differences of musical expression across various diverse communities, particularly those practiced by minority populations and other marginalised groups;
3. Ensure rigorous pedagogical standards are met, in accordance with the evolving needs and desires of the general population-at-large, through overseeing national music assessment and teaching curricula;
4. Provide both a broad and deep knowledge base of peers, connecting skilled musicians across various nations, cultures, and genres of music, to those who require their expertise;
5. Act as not a gatekeeper, but as a advocate of professional and academic excellence in musical expression;
Encourages musicians and academics alike to engage with the MEEAB in furthering the musical profession as a whole, across nations;
Requires World Assembly national governments coordinate with the MEEAB to ensure a culturally appropriate curriculum for both professional and academic education in the musical arts, taking into account the myriad of avenues and forms of expression demonstrated in differing cultures;
Further Requires that World Assembly national governments take measures recommended by the MEEAB to protect and promote musical expression, particularly with respect to forms of which are practiced by minority populations and other marginalised groups;
Strongly Recommends World Assembly national governments establish parallel national organisations to the MEEAB, to assist in these burdens in placing musical education and examination as national priorities.
