JOB-SHADOWING IN EUROPEAN INTEGRATED SCHOOLS OF MUSIC The Integrated Music School (CIM) “Padre Antonio Soler” is a public school that combines musical and general education for students from 8 up to 17 years old. The curriculum is designed according to the official education in Elementary and Professional Artistic Degrees in Music, as well as General (compulsory: Primary and Secondary; and non-compulsory: Bachillerato) Education. This Erasmus+ project is intended to allow job-shadowing mobilities to other Integrated Music Schools in Europe. Teachers from different specialities will visit these organisations and learn about their curriculum, academic organization and specific pedagogical initiatives. We hope to improve our Project and teaching methods through the expertise of prestigious institutions of long-standing tradition. Our centre exists as a Music School since 1987. In 1995, the school started a Project in order to integrate musical and compulsory academic studies; it was in 2003, when the school achieved a special status and official recognition by the educative authorities. The main objective of our institution is to facilitate the musical learning process to students with a vocation for these disciplines, in the context of an integrated education. More than ten years have passed from its creation and we believe this is the perfect time for reflection and action.e hope Erasmus+ Programme will give us the opportunity of improving our Project, by means of internationalisation and cooperation with similar European institutions. Comparing our experience with the practice of other European Integrated Music Schools, can help us in our final aim of facilitating comprehensive learning to our students. The transnational approach of Erasmus+ Programme will allow us to identify common problems and common needs to different Integrated Music Schools, being able to develop common strategies that will improve our pedagogical projects. Ultimately, we expect the improvement of our teaching projects. Eventually, we also expect that establishing long-term alliances with these institutions will allow the creation of a consortium of European Integrated Music Schools. This collaborative platform will boost the development of all institutions, by means of the exchange of experiences, teachers and students. All the proposed mobilities are for sending teachers from different disciplines to other European Integrated Music Schools within short periods of job-shadowing: - In Portugal, the Escola de Música do Conservatório Nacional. - In Lithuania , the Vilnius Music School, Conservatory J. Tallat - Kelpsos. - In Bulgaria, the National Music School " Lubomir Pipkov ". These partners were selected in a Seminar on the "Study of curriculum and teaching organization in Integrated Music Schools in Spain and abroad". This Seminar was set up by a multidisciplinary group of teachers during 2010/2011. At that time, we concluded that the contact by electronic means was not enough to initiate meaningful collaborations, so applying for funded projects that will allow direct contact between teachers was proposed. A Seminar will be set up for the planning, development and dissemination of the results of the project. This will reinforce the institutional approach and impact of it and its main goal, namely, the improvement and update of our pedagogical Project. The collected information in the requested mobilities, as well as the gained experiences, will be analised within the seminar. Results and documents obtained out of that work will be made available to partner CIMs, as well as to any other European Integrated Music Schools which might be interested in them. In any case, since one of the goals of the project is to establish the groundwork for the creation of a network of European Integrated Music Schools, special emphasis will be placed in continuing outreach activities long enough to ensure that the obtained results, will they be tangible or not, will reach as many European CIMs as possible. We hope this will lead to their future involvement in Erasmus+ Programme, a suitable platform where we can share experiences and start a common trajectory of transnational collaborative learning.
