Performer Training

Abstract Higher music education (HME) in Europe is multifaceted due to the great variety of legal frameworks, conservatory histories and practices. However, following the Bologna declaration in 1999, traditional conservatories are gradually transforming into research-based institutions, which means combining advanced performer training with artistic research. After a background on academisation in the higher education of classical, professional musicians, this article reports on a Swedish case study of meanings assigned to academisation in HME. Findings show that it is defined and justified as a quality development project, which requires adaptation and also gives opportunities for further development. Issues of agency in HME are discussed.

Cross Border Cooperation

Internationalization of higher education in Poland is a relatively new subject which has been gradually gaining its importance. The economic and political transformation of Poland opened new opportunities for Polish universities. The accession to the European Union enabled the educational and research units to apply for European funds in this respect. Despite numerous difficulties, the universities reform their strategies and search for new solutions to increase the level of internationalization and thus their competitiveness. These actions are necessary and crucial for their further development. The chapter describes general issues of internationalization of Polish higher education and shows that the level of internationalization may be achieved successfully by various forms of cross-border cooperation. Polish-Czech cooperation in the field of knowledge transfer and innovation carried out by two partner universities located in the Polish – Czech borderland is a case study illustrating this process.

Teachers And Students

In recent times the types of teaching and learning strategies adopted within higher education in British music conservatoires have been reviewed and reformed. This paper provides a case study of some of the newer practices adopted by one such institution, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. It focuses on the work of the Performance and Communication Skills Department, and, drawing on participant observations, makes a detailed analysis of the success of the implementation of the teaching and learning aims and objectives. The findings suggest that, not only are the changes adopted by the conservatoire useful, but also that they are beneficial to teachers and students at a number of levels.

Traditional Approaches

Recent literature suggests that traditional approaches in folk music education are not necessarily compatible with the pedagogical conventions of formal music education. Whilst several recent studies have tended to define these non-classical-music learning contexts as ‘informal’, the practice of folk music that was recently introduced into Chinese Higher Music Education appears to be much more complex and fluid, at least in its real world setting. This case study presents a detailed example of the teaching and learning of folk singing in contemporary society in Western China. In this particular context, both ‘informal learning’ and ‘formal’ music practices were observed and compared, based on research data collected from four music lessons and subsequent interviews with the participants. Drawing upon the analytical evidence, the research discusses a possible pedagogical model where two apparently contrasting approaches to learning (i.e. a conservatory model vs. traditional folk learning) could coalesce to ensure more effective learning outcomes of traditional folk music in higher education contexts.

The amount of data generated worldwide has reached unprecedented levels, and its rate of growth continues to increase exponentially. Brought about by rapid advances in information technologies, as well as changes in lifestyles and business strategies, this explosion in the quantity of data has given impetus to a fast-growing demand for data storage, which, in turn, has paved the way for large-scale data centers. This article addresses the potential economic impact of the construction of a “data center region” in a developing country, using as a case study a development project in Konya, Turkey. The core focus of the analysis is on whether such a data center region could create positive spillovers that trigger further development in a developing region.

The article presents the results of the study of training music art professionals and music teachers in Mongolia. The comparative analysis of music education in Germany, Sweden, Israel, China, Japan and Russia is conducted. Prospective measures of development of professional music education in Mongolia are suggested. Factors, obstacles, mechanism and directions of development of the Mongolian State Conservatory – the first Mongolian academic higher education institution for training professional musicians – have been identified. The mechanism of the development of professional music education in Mongolia is the concept of the Mongolian State Conservatory. The concept includes goals, main and additional tasks, the scheme of interaction with the authorities and social partners, the model and scheme of education, the management system, financial basis and stages of organization of the conservatory.
