Main theme: JOINT (AD)VENTURE MUSIC – Networking as a challenge for music teachers

Helping young people to develop a deeper understanding of music and fostering their active participation in musical life in a rapidly changing society has to be a joint venture between different partners. Such joint ventures may turn into joint (ad)ventures that explore multiple facets of musical culture.

Embedded in a cultural network, music education in schools depends on dialogues with:

• public and private cultural institutions
• extracurricular music education
• referential research fields

This congress encourages musical educators and communicators involved in their own specific ventures to become engaged in the adventure of new collaborations.

We invite participants to consider: What are the challenges and benefits of interdisciplinary approaches? What are the challenges and benefits of multimedial approaches? To what extent can new approaches foster a better understanding of works of art? What are the challenges of cooperative projects between different institutions? What are the benefits of breaking up the close framework of the classroom-situation? Which partners are supportive in a search for new approaches? How do we develop students’ ability of working together?

The EAS and five Lithuanian universities invite you to the EAS Conference 2016 “Looking for the Unexpected: Creativity and Innovation in Music Education”, which will take place in Vilnius, Lithuania, on 16-19 March 2016: four days of workshops, presentations, symposia and concerts.

We invite participants to consider: How do we recognize a creative learner and how do we measure his or her creativity? What does it mean to be creative in music? What are the characteristics of creative pupils, students, and professional artists? What are the features of a creative music teacher, and what does it mean to teach creatively? Our particular focus will be on innovations in music education. Every country and each person has unique understandings in this area. We invite you to share your experiences, and we look for fresh, unexpected and surprising ideas.
