The Pan African Society of Musical Arts Education (PASMAE) initiated the concept of Music Action Research Teams (MAT cells) at the grass-roots level for the collaborative sharing and learning of educators throughout Africa. The current number of 27 cells in Africa is a modest realization of the society's aims. However, it is strongly felt that if these cells execute the planned intervention strategies, then the number of cells and country representation will grow. This MAT cell concept is linking African sounds through collaborative networking. (Contains 1 figure and 2 tables.)
