After the members of Chinese delegation came to audit the workshop by Ms. Rozalina Gutman on her unique method of fostering prodigious success in her little students at 28th World Conference of Intl Society for Music Education in Bologna, Italy, she was invited to the dinner for discussion and celebration of her achievements. And following that, the head of their delegation Ms. Yang Ruimin, VP of Music/Arts Education Committees at the Ministry of Education of China invited her to present at the next 29th global Conference that she was to chair in China. And thus, in August 2010 29th World Conference of ISME became a reason for Rozalina Gutman for visiting Beijing. (Ms. Ruimin showed her avid personal support to the cause of brain/music research, by wearing dedicated tshirt designed by with Ms. Gutman's personal involvement. The subject of inter hemispheric balance that is on this tshirt, had inspired the use of the same metaphor of HARMONY for the production of the logo for the Conference.)
Ms. Gutman was joined by the inspiring tdam of music educators and veterans of movements for advocacy for music education in various countries. Despite her busy schedule, Ms. Yang Ruimin had personally come to the event along with her colleagues.

| Following her Int'l Symposium, Ms. Rozalina Gutman joined other members of Russian Delegation Ms. Maria Kabalevsky and Prof. Edward Abdullin for the concert of classical and folk Russian music by the members of Music Dept. of Kamchatka Arts College at the Jiang Jie Piano City Culture & Arts Center. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that among over a thousand (!) employed music teachers (for over 30.000 (!!) students, enrolled throughout Beijing), about 20 teachers were invited from Russia, some of whom we were pleased to meet. After the concert we were invited to the ceremonial Friendship Dinner that boasted incredible variety of traditional local delicacies some of which were discovered by Russians for the 1st time. Everyone was deeply touched by such warm reception and a personal visit of the owner of the entire institution, who came to greet the guests from out of town.

29th World Conference of ISME had a special theme "Harmony and the World Future" (that is actually truly resonant to the message on the t-shirt, produced by C.H.A.R.I.S.M.A. foundation, related to the powerful brain/music research data). It is indisputable that music is one of the most powerful means to achieve inner and outer harmony, thus regular music practice through quality music education has incredibly positive transformative power on human mind and brain development.
