In the recent context of the evolution and increasing complexity of the contemporary music sector, the constraints linked to the professionalization of musicians have been largely neglected by the institutions that train them. Music teaching has generally remained focused on the instrumental practice of the musician alone. In contemporary music, the musician plays in a group, and this group is one of the spaces in which he or she is professionally fulfilled. However, in spite of a high artistic quality, the project of a group can fail for lack of having understood and integrated the economic, commercial and managerial ecosystem in which it evolves. The result is often chaotic, irregular and precarious career paths, which can generate a great deal of suffering at work. The sometimes significant gap between the desire to live from one's passion for music and the professional reality then generates a significant exposure to psycho-social risks. In this project, we develop the ambition and the proposal of a pedagogical, theoretical and practical framework, which allows all the supervisors of the musicians' training, to have a global approach of the group, which must acquire and develop its own competences by relying on the strengths of its "poly-working" members, in a digital environment that can allow it to organize and structure itself while keeping in mind the necessity to live harmoniously from its art without mistreating the artists. Based on this observation shared transnationally between three educational structures (Belgium, Spain, France), a festival (Italy) and a pole of competence specialized in the creative and cultural industries sector (France), the MP3 project is thus structured around three general objectives: - To develop and implement a new pedagogical reference system for teachers - Securing multi-activity to sustain the careers of professional musicians - Improving the prevention of psycho-social risks in music In order to increase and capitalize on our knowledge on these subjects, 4 intellectual productions will be used to produce materials for 4 action-training sessions for music groups. These action-training sessions will in fact and above all be training sessions for teachers and professors who will animate, evaluate and validate all the modules. The MP3 project will thus enable - An inventory of the psychosocial risks linked to the practice of the profession of musician in Belgium, Spain, Italy and France. - A survival video guide for musicians to promote the sharing of networks and working together with all the players in the sector. - A toolbox to find permanent resources on the status of musicians in the four countries, the professional opportunities offered by pluri-activity, the challenges of pedagogical transmission and those of the transition from music to images. - A European Music Teacher 2.0 reference system - A global engineering of training of current music groups for training organizations. Finally, three dissemination events will enable us to disseminate the results of our work at local, national and European levels and to create a dynamic of initiatives around these issues. Through its open methods and the production of contributory tools, the MP3 project thus aims to bring together on a European scale a community of pedagogues and training structures for professional music groups, actors in the field of contemporary music and prevention in order to highlight the need to better train musicians and to make their professional careers more secure in the long term.
Through its open methods and the production of contributory tools, the MP3 project aimed to bring together, on a European scale, a community of educators and training structures for professional music groups, players in the current music industry and prevention, in order to highlight the need for better training for musicians and secure their career paths over the long term. To achieve this, the project brought together 2 teaching structures (Spain, France), a festival (Italy) and a skills center specialized in the creative and cultural industries sector (France) around three general objectives: - to develop and implement a new pedagogical reference framework for teachers - Secure multi-activity to sustain the careers of professional musicians - Improve the prevention of psychosocial risks in the music industry
In a recent context of change and complexity in the contemporary music sector, the constraints linked to the professionalization of musicians have been largely neglected by the institutions that train them. Music teaching has remained focused on instrumental practice. However, in today's music, the professionally successful musician plays in a group. However, despite its high artistic quality, a band's project can fail if it doesn't understand the economic, commercial and managerial ecosystem in which it evolves. The result is chaotic, irregular and uncertain career paths, which can lead to great suffering in the workplace. Through this project, we wanted to fill these gaps by developing a theoretical and practical pedagogical framework that would enable all those involved in training musicians to take a global approach to the band. This global approach should enable the group to acquire its own skills by drawing on the strengths of its "poly-working" members, in a digital environment that can enable it to organize itself while keeping in mind the need to live harmoniously from its art without harming the artists.
