Briefly about:
The Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Académies de Musique et Musikhochschulen (AEC) is a European cultural and educational network with over 290 member institutions for professional music training in 57 countries. AEC works for the advancement of European Higher Music Education (HME) and, more generally, of music, the arts and culture in contemporary society and for future generations. It aims to be ‘the leading voice for European higher music education’ and a powerful advocate for all that is best in it throughout the world.
AEC sees the discipline of HME as combining a quest for excellence in three areas: artistic practice (the doing and making of music); learning and teaching (the transmission of knowledge and understanding of music) and research and innovation (the exploration of new musical knowledge and understanding and of new ways of applying it). It supports all three areas by providing information and expert advice to the specialist institutions in Europe offering HME; by engaging in advocacy and partnership-building at European and international levels; and by implementing measures to raise understanding and enhance standards of HME across the EHEA and beyond.
