The Reina Sofía School of Music presents the New Skills 4 New Artists project, an Erasmus + project funded by the European Union through SEPIE (Servicio Español para la Internacionalización de la Educación) which has been carried out in partnership with Munster Technological University (Ireland), Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel (Belgium) and Grupo DEX (Spain).
We performed an analysis of the job market finding that musicians graduating today have different skills needs compared to decades past. However, music degrees have been slow to react to this and remain broadly unchanged. NS4NA addresses this identified gap in the training of musicians and artists by developing a set of guidelines for teaching the required knowledge and skills to improve the career prospects of musicians.
This meeting is aimed at music professionals such as performers and composers, school and conservatory teachers, managers of educational institutions and, in general, the entire community revolving around music.
The presentation will be available in Spanish and English with simultaneous translation.
