Melbourne Conference 15 – 17 May 2020

We’re particularly proud to announce that INTERMUSIC  will be presented at the Forum 1 in the

TEACHING MUSIC ONLINE IN HIGHER EDUCATION

VIRTUAL CONFERENCE 2020

hosted by the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, University of Melbourne.

The EU project INTERMUSIC (Interactive Environment for Music Learning and Practising, 2017-20) “What we learned, what we produced, where we are heading to”

The European project INTERMUSIC aims to develop digital skills in the field of music higher education, by 1) implementing an online shared platform for the distance learning dedicated to performing practices, theoretical and compositional courses; 2) designing specialised music training pathways that integrate lessons from different European music institutions, with sustainable development over time; 3) understanding the most demanding aspects of remote music interaction and communication in the context of chamber music, instrumental and vocal practice.
The workshop will feature the project’s highlights, along with concrete experiences of blended learning, collected after three years of collaborations among the five partners, Music Conservatoire of Milano, Politecnico of Milano, LMTA in Vilnius, RDAM in Copenhagen, and AEC in Brussels.

Abstract

Presentation

Intermusic presented at the AEC International Relations Coordinators Meeting in Prague

Intermusic introduced to International Relations Coordinators during the annual AEC IRC meeting,

This multiplier event, in addition to those foreseen in the application, was organized as part of the annual meeting of the International Relations Coordinators of the Institutes associated with AEC, which took place in Prague from 19 to 22 September 2019.

The project management team in agreement with AEC, considered it useful to add this event to reach a very important audience. In fact, International Relations Coordinators always have a strategic role in cooperation and dissemination within their own Institutes. The presentation of INTERMUSIC, therefore, was specifically designed both to provide a cross-section of the project with the first results of the research (OUTPUT 2 and 3) and the blended courses, among which the Mastering Voice Literature Course in Original was extensively illustrated, and to encourage discussion on organizational and administrative issues within the management of a project whose complexity is given by the involvement of differentiated partners and by the fullness of intellectual outputs.

Therefore, topics such as the choice of partnership, the organizational model adopted, communication strategies, risk management and the maintenance of a high quality standard in cooperation were addressed.

The presentation of INTERMUSIC occupied one of the six parallel sessions of the Conference on 21 September, with a good participation.

The satisfaction questionnaire distributed at the end showed an average evaluation between 4 and 5 on a scale from 1 to 5 where 5 represents the maximum value.

There were also several requests for more information on the project by the participants.

International conference

Distance Learning in Higher Music Education: teaching technologies and methodologies

 

 

 

Conservatorio di Musica “G. Verdi” di Milano

Via Conservatorio, 12 – Milano

Friday, February 2nd 2018 – Puccini Hall

The conference, addressed to Italian, European and International teachers and researchers in the Higher Music Education sector, is the first presentation of the INTERMUSIC Project (INTERACTIVE environment for MUSIC learning and practicing) funded by the European Union, through the the Italian National Agency Erasmus + (INDIRE), within the Erasmus + Program – KA2 Strategic Partnerships Higher Education Sector.

The project is coordinated by the G. Verdi Conservatoire in Milan with its partners: the Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI), Det Kongelige Danske Musikkonservatorium (RDAM) in Copenhagen, the Lietuvos Muzikos ir Theater Akademija (LTMA) in Vilnius, the Association Europeenne des Conservatoires, Academies de Musique and Musikhochschulen (AEC) ) in Brussels.

The conference is intended as an opportunity for further study and discussion on Distance Learning in the specific field of Higher Music Education, in which speakers from universities, conservatories and European and international music institutes are confronted. Experts in distance education methodologies and technologies applied to different disciplines and in particular to the music field will offer their contributions.

The specific nature of the musical training is to include, in addition to theoretical disciplines, a large part of instrumental and vocal practice, both for single students as well as for chamber and orchestral ensembles: these practices require active interaction between students and teachers and its technological and methodological development as a consequence.

Moreover, today’s research and technologies are exploring new development areas that concern enhanced environments for learning instrumental practice as well as new forms of online musical creation and performance, such as Network Music and Network Music Composition.
