Part 1 : Feedback from experiences: What questions, what answers, what certainties, what wanderings ?
Presentation and opening speech
Many actors of oral tradition music develop methods, places, habits of transmission.
Depending on the social and political realities they choose to create their transmission tools, to integrate their work within institutions or to continue to be part of a local or family process.
Sometimes they also like to cross all these forms.
Does the teaching of these masters serve to give their pupils an understanding ?
To create disciples who will become their associates and competitors in local festivals or on the stages of the world ?
To train other teachers who will maintain a "classical" tradition ?
Do students, disciples or trainees wish to hear truths experiencing their knowledge with a teacher ?
Integrate effectively a profitable musical practice ?

Wondering about the forms of transmission
Each of these experiences reflects specific realities of transmission related to the social and cultural environment.
The invited researchers whose transmission is the object of central research, will confront these testimonies, their differences of pedagogical approach and the possibility for each one to enrich oneself of the others.

3rd Part
What policies for the transmission of oral tradition music ?
At the scale of territories and states, taking into account the forms of transmission of music of oral tradition can be very different.
Do politicians, institutions, give prescriptions ? Do they create observatories ? Do they take into account the specificities of popular cultures (sometimes or often minority) endangered by globalization ?
At different territorial levels we will examine these choices or non-political choices and their impact on the development of music, cultures and societies concerned.
