Malmö Academy of Music is a partner in the Norwegian project CreaTeME - Creative use of Technology in Music Education - at the University of Agder.  The project aims to promote creative use of technology in higher music education and is based on four focus areas: pedagogy, artistry, professionalism, and sustainability.

Through an exchange agreement with the University of Agder, our students also have the opportunity to study part of their programme in Norway, thus developing their musical skills in an international context.

Malmö Academy of Music collaborates with The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (ICMP) in London in the educational areas of music production, songwriting and popular music.

ICMP has, just like Malmö Academy of Music, a strong focus on individual artistic development and through the collaboration our students have the opportunity to meet both online and/or on-site in Nashville in a joint project with Belmont University and Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). Together, the students write and produce music, an experience which gives them both practical know-how and valuable contacts in the music industry.

PRIhME (Power Relations in Higher Music Education) is a strategic partnership between Malmö Music Academy and eight other European music institutions. Over a period of three years (2020-2023), the issue of power relations in higher music education was explored through four themes: understanding power relations and music, sexual orientation and gender, socio-economic background and disability, and artistic norms.

The project was funded by the European Commission's Erasmus+ programme and resulted in a toolkit with recommendations on how music institutions should work to create healthy workplaces and learning environments.

The Genus Conference is a collaboration between the University of Agder (Norway), Malmö Academy of Music (Sweden) and the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus/Ålborg (Denmark).

The overall aim of the collaboration is to raise awareness of gender and equality perspectives in music education and to equip students, teachers and leaders in music education with practical tools to improve gender balance. In addition to three conferences, the collaboration has also resulted in a joint toolbox and diversity checklist.

Music graduates are experiencing a difficult repositioning of their function within society and the labor market. The COVID impact on young classical music HEIs students, still undervalued, has been meteoric, creating a “lost generation” of artists out of the normal performance circuit (Coronavirus consequences for the cultural sector EU Parliamentary Research Service 2020). In a few months, HEIs and the music and art world needed to find a new way to operate, and music students themselves had to dramatically rethink their skills and performance models (The Future of ICT for Creativity and Creative Industries European Commission, 2021). 

MUSense is to fill a gap, forging HE Music Institutions to embrace the digital shift and “stimulating innovative learning and teaching practices” in order to sustain and achieve new innovative performance practicies and leverage the digital media potential.

Malmö Academy of Music (MAM) collaborates with The Vano Sarajishvili Tbilisi State Conservatoire (TSC), Georgia’s leading institution for higher music education and one of the oldest conservatoires in the Caucasus region. The collaboration is part of Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility and aims to deepen artistic, pedagogical, and institutional exchange between the two academies.

The partnership builds on long-standing contacts between the institutions, strengthened through previous joint projects coordinated by Lund University. Over the years, teachers and researchers from both academies have visited each other for lectures, workshops, and artistic activities, and several TSC alumni have continued their master’s studies at Malmö Academy of Music—demonstrating strong student interest and compatibility between the programmes.

The cooperation focuses on areas where both institutions share strong expertise, including composition, classical piano performance, jazz, choir conducting, artistic research, and student wellbeing. Both institutions work actively with internationalisation as part of their quality assurance, and TSC’s ambitions to align more closely with European higher-education standards make the exchange especially valuable.

Through Erasmus+ ICM, students from TSC have the opportunity to study at Malmö Academy of Music for one or two semesters, gaining new perspectives on performance, pedagogy, and artistic practice. Teachers and staff from both institutions participate in mobility for teaching, training, curriculum development, and the exchange of artistic and pedagogical knowledge.

The collaboration contributes to the modernisation of music education in both contexts, supports artistic and academic innovation, and strengthens the cultural and professional ties between Georgia and Sweden. It also provides students an important opportunity to engage with different musical traditions, teaching methods, and artistic environments—skills that are increasingly essential in an international music profession.
