What is Smart Composer?
Smart Composer is a two-year strategic partnership project funded by the Erasmus+ programme that brings together six European partners to explore music education and composition methodologies for educators as well as the branding, digital marketing and entrepreneurship skills that are necessary for young composers today.
The project will involve 20 music educators working in the fields of composition, musical performance, choral and orchestral conducting and theory, employed in conservatories, universities and music schools and as freelancers.
The project will create:
- A competence framework for music educators
- A Smart Composer methodology
- A Smart Composer handbook
Two training courses will also take place as part of the project: one aimed at music educators in November 2021 in France, and another aimed at learners in June 2022 in Italy.
How will RESEO participate?
RESEO will lead the development of the competence framework for music educators, contribute to the project methodology and handbook as well as the organisation of the two training courses, and coordinate a Smart Composer conference in Brussels in September 2022.
How will RESEO members be involved?
RESEO members will have the possibility to:
- Provide input about existing practices and methodologies used in their work and organisations
- Take part in desk research and case studies
- Participate in the training course in France
- Nominate learners for the training course in Italy
