There are various ways of facilitating the further formation of the global music education community. Mentoring international scholars is one significant approach that has often been overlooked. Global mentoring not only supports someone in becoming a member of the professional community he or she would like to belong to—e.g., by facilitating learning how to write articles or to present research. It also creates international networks of scholars who had the same mentor and may have spent time at the same universities. While on a mere technical level, mentoring means giving advice to young professionals, it is also more. It is both a professional and a personal relationship. It helps shape someone regarding their research profile as well as professional personality. Successful mentoring, however, is not about duplicating oneself in a mentee. Rather, it involves the kind of Socratic maieutics which has been known to be a highly effective means of education and personal development.

Patricia Shehan Campbell is an excellent example for this kind of international mentoring. The chapter ends with a Brief Response by Emily Achieng’ Akuno.
