The Erasmus Strategic Partnership Project ‘Modernising European Higher Music Education through Improvisation’ (METRIC) will hold its Final Conference at the Hochschule für Musik und Theatre in Leipzig, 29-30 August 2018.

The conference is aimed for all the interest groups and will provide an extensive platform for looking into the present and the future of the improvisation topic on the EU level. The outcomes of the project will be presented: 3 European joint modules in improvisation and a web-based teaching & learning manual on improvisation, including video exercises, improvisation assessment criteria proposals and current analysis on EU improvisation. The event will also feature workshops, panel discussions, open stage and a final concert. More information on the event will be published in April on the AEC website.

In addition, from 3rd to 9th of April, there will be an Intensive Project week on Improvisation at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (Glasgow), aimed for HEI teachers and learners.
