HarMA Intensive Training Week for Students, 23-27 April 2024

The HarMA Intensive Training Week for Students will take place on 23-27 April 2024 at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest, targeting students and teachers from the partner institutions for a full week training programme focusing on music theory. The 5-days programme will put in place the tools developed within the project in order to broaden student’s perception of music theory courses as it is taught in different EU countries. The main objective of the programme is to meet different pedagogical approaches and educational methods at a practical level. Moreover, the HarMA Intensive Training Week for Students will aim at:

• Allowing students to learn and share knowledge with peers from different countries
• Helping students acquire foreign language skills in professional terminology
• Helping students to encounter subjects, perspectives and analytical methods that are not part of the educational programme at their conservatoire
