(annual

students
meet and present|| |papers on topics that are more specialised
than
those promoted
by other learned
music societies|| |and charities. TAGS also provides
workshops,|| |organised
by professional
academics,
designed
to enhance
the employability
prospects of those|| |taking part, and prepare them for working
in the|| |field. To this end, students
also benefit from|| |writing

activities|| |that we sponsor.|| |The Society for Music Analysis
supports
an|| |annual
Music Analysis
Conference
('MAC') for|| |both professional
academics
and students
(open|| |also to the wider public); these are three/four-|| |day events, and typically accept around 100|| |speakers
from across the World. Many more|| |speakers
than can be accepted apply.|| |Grants|| |The Society for Music Analysis
supports|| |attendance
at our own events through
a Bursary|| |Scheme. Attendance
at other analysis-themed|| |conferences
or events is supported
via our|| |Development
Fund, which also covers grants for|| |research
trips, the cost of obtaining
research|| |materials,
and other similar costs. When we are|| |financially
supporting
members,
we encourage|| |grant recipients to review the conference/event
in question
in our biannual
Newsletter,
and thus|| |share their experience

Music Analysis Conferences|| |('EuroMACs'),
which take place every four years|| |in major European
centres (recently Rome,|| |Leuven, Strasbourg,
and soon to be Moscow in|| |September 2021). These are presently
run by a
consortium
ofeight European
music theory and|| |analysis societies, including
the SMA. These|| |events offer opportunities
for professional|| |academics
and students
to contribute
to much|| |larger events than any country
could host on its|| |own.|| |We work with and support the promotion
ofother|| |music societies, and are members
ofthe Music|| |Research Consortium,
which aims to discuss a|| |broad range oftopics, including
issues that are
crucial to the sustenance
ofthe study of music|in| |schools, colleges, online,
in both public and|| |private sectors|| |Resources|| |The SMA incorporates
the journal
Music|| |Analysis,
through
which we support the funding|| |ofthe Charity. The journal disseminates
the
latest scholarly research
in the discipline of|| |music theory and analysis,
with contributions| |---| |from distinguished
and emerging

scholars
from the UK and abroad.| |Additionally,
we publish a biannual
Newsletter| |that promotes
our members'
work, reviews| |events germane

Objectives)
Within the present
reporting
year, the SMA has
worked towards
implementing
its 'Strategy'
for
future development,
which was agreed
in
2016/17. At that time, our objectives for the
future were defined as: 1)to expand the
Society's membership;
2)to enhance
our
research presence,
and support research
into
music theory and analysis
at a national
level, by
supporting
scholars at all career levels; 3)to
support
the presence
and development
ofmusic
theory and analysis as undergraduate| |curdiculum
subjects; 4)to support the work of| |postgraduate
students
at MA and PhD levels; 5)
to support
primary
and second-level
music| |education,
via the establishment
ofoutreach| |programmes
and the creation offreely available
teaching
materials; 6)to encourage
and foster
the professional
status ofthe discipline
within
the academy.| |Our objectives surrounding
second-level| |curricula
and educational
context have a clear| |public benefit. The Society for Music Analysis
aims to bridge the knowledge
gap between
second- and third-level
education
in theory and
analysis,
by engaging
in dialogue
with A-Level
and GCSE boards,
lobbying
the Department
for
Education
in support ofmusic theory's
educational
value, engaging
in targeted
schools'
outreach,
engaging
in dialogue
with regional
music hubs, working
closely with other relevant
bodies
in the sector (for example the National| |Association
for Music in Higher Education| |[NAMHEJ, The Associated ofthe Royal Schools
ofMusic [ABRSMJ and the Royal Musical
Association
[RMAJ), and developing
educational
materials
that can be disseminated
to schools| |and music providers.
In the current
reporting
year, the society has become a corporate
member ofthe ISM (Incorporated
Society of
Musicians)
and NOVO (National
Council for| |Voluntary
Organisations).| |In the previous
reporting
year, the SMA
advertised
for, and recruited,
