It took place from 6 to 7 October 2017 at the mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and was organized in cooperation with the European Music School Union (EMU) and the Conference of Austrian Music School Associations (KOMU). More than 150 researchers, experts and practitioners from twenty-five countries participated in this event. As keynote speakers the University invited Anne Bamford (England), Heidi Westerlund and Lauri Väkevä (Finland), and Susanne Keuchel (Germany). Researchers from twenty European countries presented research findings and case studies concerning issues such as equal access, social impact, diversity and specialization, collaborations with schools, and the professional profile of teachers. A final panel about future aims of music school research started with a presentation by Herbert Altrichter (Vienna). Therese Kaufman hosted the panel with Helena Maffli and Timo Klemettinen (EMU), Lauri Väkevä (Sibelius Academy Helsinki), Franz-Otto Hofecker (mdw), and Michaela Hahn (mdw and KOMU). The dialogue between researchers and practitioners as one central aim of the Symposium was supported by different formats during the event. The contributions of EMU were posters from several European countries about their music school systems and about the EMU Statistics, which had been published shortly before. The Austrian Music School Association organized a concert on the first evening which gave a glimpse of the inspiring work done by Austrian Music Schools. This post-symposium publication refers to the First European Music School Symposium, which took place from October 6-7, 2017 at mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna. Cooperating partners for the symposium were European Music School Association (EMU) and the Austrian Conference of Music School Associations (KOMU). 8 INTRODUCTION / music school RESEARCH II INTRODUCTION MICHAELA HAHN / FRANZ-OTTO HOFECKER Music education in Europe reflects the colorful diversity and rich tradition of our continent´s cultural identities. The inherent character of music education is rooted in its unique position within culture and education. This specific characteristic becomes apparent in the professional training of music educators, in the music education syllabi and curricula, and in the self- conception of music teachers and their pupils. The organizational structure of sound music education requires therefore partnership of teachers, artists and communities. Music schools in Europe are institutions specially devoted to music education and chiefly geared towards the practices of music-making, as they offer tuition in different instruments and voice, sometimes also dance and drama. Although the term “music school” is common in nearly all European countries, there is no universal agreement on the tasks a music school has to fulfil and the objectives it aims to meet. In many countries they developed from local and regional cultural associations to secure the next generations of musicians for the community. Some countries have developed parallel education structures for music schools, in other countries they are partially implemented in the general education system. In many European countries music schools founded national associations to advance their own development and shoulder different tasks. Advocacy and quality management are the most common, including measures such as continuing professional education for music school teachers, national competitions, youth orchestras, and many more besides. In 1973 these national associations established a European umbrella organization named EMU, European Music School Union. The common ground is the term “music school”, though the underlying institutions and concepts are diverse. The precise position of music schools within their national education and culture systems defines the aims and tasks of the respective music school system. This leads to a diverse and multifaceted music school scene in European countries, where a mutual language has to be developed for analyzing and discussing research findings. 9 music school RESEARCH II / INTRODUCTION This volume has set itself the task of providing a first glimpse of the diverse music school research in European countries. Whereas comparative research in education is well established, it has yet to be done for music schools. With the new format of the European Music School Symposium at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna in cooperation with the European Music School Union and the Conference of Austrian Music School Associations (KOMU) this scientific discourse has now started. The 2017 symposium brought more than 150 researchers and practitioners from twenty-five European countries together. Including a keynote and presentations from this symposium this publication offers contributions from twenty-nine researchers from thirteen European countries and paints a multicolored picture of music schools in Europe. _ With the question, “How music schools justify themselves: Meeting the social challenges of the twenty-first century” the article by Heidi Westerlund, Lauri Väkevä, and Leena Ilmola-Sheppard is a fitting starting point for this publication. The authors argue that in our changing societies music schools also need to take ethical responsibility. After describing the Finnish framework for music school education, Basic Education in the Arts, they present two cases, Resonaari and Floora from Finland, using a systems view as a theoretical
