Organisation
The Academy Board of the Malmö Academy of Music is ultimately
responsible for everything that takes place under its roof. The Academy
Board consists of 12 members who are selected by vote (eight members of
the teaching staff including the director and deputy director of the
Academy, a doctor, two students and a member of the T/A staff). The
deputy director acts as the chairman of the board and the director as
the rapporteur.
The Academy has two education committees - the
committee for the Performance and Church Music Programmes and the
committee for the Music Teacher Programme. The committees are
responsible for and make decisions concerning the content, execution and
development of their programmes of study.
The Academy is run by
the director and the deputy director.
They have complete responsibility of operations and personnel at the
Academy.
Programme directors Joakim Nilssson, Anna Cronberg and Berth Lideberg
are responsible for operations within the Performance and Church Music
Programmes. Programme Directors Lars Andersson, Ann-Charlotte Carlén and
Tommy Lindskog are responsible for operations within the Music Teacher
Programme.
The Academy consists of two programme offices plus
its common divisions - the Library, Technical Services and IT, Personnel
and Schedules, The Career Services Centre, Concerts and Information and
the Practical Services Unit. The main tasks of the programme offices
consist of the teaching, planning, development and following up of
programmes of study. The divisions common to the Academy's departments
are responsible for their particular area of operations and all
decisions made within it.
The Academy has a large number of
committees which function as planning and coordination units. The
committees have advisory and preparatory roles for both the programme
offices and the Academy board. Included are the Academic Appointments
Committee, the Library Committee, the Research Programme committee, the
Artistic Research Committee plus committees within the following subject
areas: woodwind, brass, percussion, strings, ensemble and choir leading,
guitar, piano, vocal studies, interpretation, orchestra, chamber music,
Baroque music, church music and organ, jazz, rock/pop, folk music/world
music, ear training, harmony/counterpoint, history of music, media and
studio, composition, general teacher training and
eurhythmics/drama/dance. Members of the teaching staff function as
committee leaders within their subject areas. Student representatives
are usually asked to attend committee meetings. Some meetings or parts
of meetings can be relevant just for staff members so student
representatives need not be present.
