    METRIC (Modernizing European Higher Music Education through Improvisation) is a cooperative network of several leading European conservatoires and the AEC (European Association of Conservatoires) with the aim to focus on the modernisation of higher music education through intensive international cooperation in the field of improvisation. This aim is based on the conviction of the METRIC institutions that improvisation education can have a notable effect on existing curricula in higher music education institutions. Through a continuous process of mutual enrichment, METRIC wants to support the development and improvement of improvisation teaching, performance and research. In doing so, it also wants to take care of genres and styles with less-established activity in improvisation.

    Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) joined the METRIC network in 2023 and will hence intensify its cooperation with the 15 leading conservatoires members of the network. This represents an excellent opportunity for the exchange of students and staff, be it via joint modules or the METRIC-Intensive Programmes.

    The members of the โ€œImprovisationโ€ working group of ZHdKโ€™s Department of Music, comprised of 23 lecturers specialising in various aspects of improvisation, see great added value in participating to exchange ideas and explore diverse approaches to teaching and practising improvisation within the European context. By joining METRIC, fruitful collaborations are fostered, perspectives are broadened and the collective advancement of improvisation education is supported.
