About the Network
METRIC is a collaborative network of leading European conservatoires and the European Association of Conservatoires, dedicated to advancing higher music education through international cooperation in improvisation.
By fostering continuous exchange and mutual enrichment, METRIC supports the development of teaching, performance, and research in improvisation, across all genres, from tonal and modal traditions to free improvisation.
The METRIC Network builds on two earlier initiatives: an initiative by the Royal Conservatoire The Hague (2011–2014) and an Erasmus+ Programme partnership (2015–2018) coordinated by the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre.
After 2018, the network was maintained to build on its achievements and to sustain international exchange in improvisation for students and teachers.
