Education at Bavarian secondary vocational schools of music is too much focused on the requirements of the local job market. Therefore the nonprofit association Neue Jazzschool München e.V. wants to turn the attention of its secondary vocational school of Rock, Pop and Jazz more to international job market demands. With the help of the mobility project “musician – a profession without borders” the Munich institution will have the chance to get to know different concepts, training methods and learning aids of other European secondary vocational schools of music. On the basis of this knowledge the association will identify, if and how its vocational education has to be supplemented and/or upgraded. The exchange program encourages students to acquire cross cultural skills, to improve their specific English terminology and to prepare them to work with international colleagues. They will also establish first international contacts for their own artistic work. The challenge of staying abroad will further the personal development of the students and teachers involved in the project. By getting to know other approaches the participants will broaden their artistic and intellectual horizon. Teachers gain more expertise and educational competence.The mobility project will also favour the cooperation with other European secondary vocational schools of music and thus create prospective mutual educational standards. In this way European musical apprenticeship on secondary educational level can become more comparable.For each mobility action Neue Jazzschool München e.V. chooses two students of their second and third grade whose school performances justify their participation. Because these have to catch up with the missed subjects taught during their stay abroad. In addition the head of school chooses one teacher for each mobility action who’s interested in getting to know new educational methods and is willing to realize them at the Munich institute. These are the planned activities of the attending students during their stay at the partner organizations: attendance at ensemble rehearsals, attendance at practical and theoretical musical subjects, directing a choir or an ensemble in English during a lesson, preparing a gig with the school ensemble, getting to know the musical scene in the partner country by visiting concerts and jam sessions in the respective musical clubs.These are the planned activities of the teachers during their stay at the partner organizations: attending classes of their partner teachers, directing of choir and ensemble rehearsals with own arrangements and compositions, teaching the practical and theoretical subjects of the partner teacher, communication and exchange of educational matters with the teachers of the partner organization, analyzing and comparing the individual curricula.The project language will be English. In accordance with the partner organizations the learning targets and the necessary activities of the attendees will be agreed on in writing. Mutual training project will be discussed before and agreed on in writing with the partners.The attending teacher will work together with the partner teachers in groups. In the partner country the educational project leader will take care of the attendees. He or she will inform Neue Jazzschool München e.V. of any actions and achieved improvements . The attending students and teachers will also send emails to their Munich school reporting briefly on their experiences made. If possible video clips and sound recordings of the gathered musical creations will be made.In the long term the project may help to establish more professional networks and more communication between European secondary vocational schools of music. In the consequence new mutual educational standards will be generated and the experiences may help to design the prospective training profile on the Bavarian vocational schools of music.
