Webinar Programme
Welcome and Introduction
Presented by Finn Schumacker, AEC Director
Report on Learning & Teaching Activities
Presented by Stefan Gies, AEC Senior Adviser
Stefan Gies discussed the outcomes of SMS Learning & Teaching activities, highlighted follow-ups, and addressed new challenges.
From a Student Perspective 1
Presented by Siri Storheim, former member of the SMS Learning & Teaching Working Group, now young professional
Siri shared a student’s and young professional’s perspective on Learning & Teaching in general, and discussed what has changed in recent years, what new challenges there are, and whether and how to rethink the topic compared to 5 years ago.
Presentation by Philipp Ahner
The presentation addressed current developments in the field of artistic and artistic-pedagogical music study programmes and music teacher training at the University of Music Trossingen on the basis of current projects at the university. The focus was on the development of teaching-learning scenarios in the context of hybrid, digital and virtual environments in artistic practice (e.g. individual artistic lessons or chamber music) and other music-related areas of learning (e.g. music theory). Building on this, perspectives for future teaching-learning scenarios in the context of artificial intelligence and corresponding learning experience platforms (LXP) will be sketched out.
Presentation by Susanne van Els
The Conservatoire National Supérieur Musique et Danse de Lyon is in the exciting period of the reform of the Master of Music programs. All the obvious reasons and goals played a role in starting this process: differentiation of the cycles, cohesion within the program and embedding research, bridging the gap between education and professional life, modelling collaborative master programs with the professional practice, synching with students’ lives and the student’s perspective.
This presentation highlighted how the work of the Learning & Teaching group not only determined the underlying principles for the new master model but also provided guidance for a variety of day-to-day pedagogical and managerial developmental processes.
The issue of digitisation was placed in the context of a, both artistic and pedagogical, key principle: presence.
From a Student Perspective 2
Presented by Siri Storheim, former member of the SMS Learning & Teaching Working Group, now young professional
Siri responded to the preceding input and related it to the needs, previous experience and routines of a younger generation
