1. Learning outcomes of teacher mobilities. As a result of mobilities, answers to the following questions will be provided: what different, new, useful methods could be adopted from Estonian colleagues when teaching specialty and theory subjects; to what extent should the Finnish colleagues' approach to learning content, evaluation forms, and learning organization be used; to what extent modular education has entered the practice of the Tartu school, which can be implemented from it in the Ventspils Music High School; how does the new approach of Finnish colleagues manifest itself in the context of modular education, how does this experience compare with Estonian practice and whether any elements would be useful in the practice of Ventspils Music High School; what is the practice of the two hosting partners in ensuring cooperation of pedagogues in methodical work and creating interdisciplinary connections of the curriculum; how both partners create a connection with the labor market and adapt the learning content to its needs; what is the experience of both partners in attracting students from third countries; what aspects should be taken into account when creating an online training platform, taking into account Estonian experience in the field of online training; what kind of Ventspils Music High School can expand the international partnership network by promoting the internationalization of the school. The ability to answer these questions is the learning outcomes of these mobilities. The learning results will be recognized with Europass Mobility documents, as well as documents certifying the internship, which will be issued by the hosting partners, while Ventspils Music High School will register the pedagogue in the continuing education record system. 2. Learning outcomes of teaching practices. Results of training: the ability to professionally and artistically fit into the orchestra and choir ensemble; the ability to follow the conductor's gesture and the movements shown by the band's concertmaster, creating a unified sound; has successfully staged sheet music, is able to play the part; understanding of the coordination of the strokes of the orchestra groups, its role in the formation of the interpretation; able to evaluate the tempos, dynamics, phrasing, timbre tones chosen by the conductor when creating the interpretation of the piece, compare the means of expression of several interpretations, able to discuss these aspects; understands the importance of harmony, orchestration and piece form in a composition; able to integrate into the work of music collectives, observing their ethical norms, stage culture requirements. These learning outcomes are complicated, at the same time mutually integrated and difficult to divide into evaluable units, like music itself, which is an abstract and subjectively perceived art. Simply describing the result of the internship, it can be described as an experience that is quite difficult to evaluate. The process of distributing the results of the learning practices, in which the students will be involved after the end of the mobilities, can be evaluated. The hosting partners will also give their assessment - about the students' participation in the work of the music collectives, the quality of the performance, motivation, compliance with the norms of ethics and stage culture.
1. The participation of Ventspils Music High School students in the Nordic Youth Orchestra in Sweden will give students the opportunity to international experience, mobility experience, experience working in an international orchestra, intercultural experience, in-depth an idea of the culture of the Nordic countries, with the values of staging the compositions of Scandinavian composers. 2. Participation of Ventspils Music High School students in the German-Scandinavian Music Days in Germany, similar to Sweden, students will be allowed to enter the international music scene; work under excellent conductors and instructors; get information about study opportunities at European music universities; learn a complex repertoire of symphonic and choral music; get an orchestra rehearsal, group work and concert experience. In the course of previous projects, some Ventspils Music High Schools students have been nominated to play solo with a symphony orchestra or conduct a choir - this is a rare opportunity for a young musician. This the experience will become the basis for further development of students' education and professional activity, possibly international scale. Cross-cultural experience working with international musicians and staging German and other European ones will be provided works of national composers. Preparing students for these two mobilities will provide an in-depth cross-curricular content creation in Ventspils Music High School practice - project repertoire will be staged in specialty classes and analyzed in harmony, shape analysis and music history classes. Pupils will be asked to listen to the plays compositions in several interpretations, which will be recommended by music theory teachers. The experience of previous projects shows that participation in foreign orchestra training practices promotes internationalization of students career in its further development. Former Erasmus+ and Leonardo da Vinci project participants study at European universities (Switzerland, Denmark, Germany), participates in the work of higher level international orchestras (Baltic Sea States Orchestra, Orchestra "Norden" and others). It has been proven that teaching practice gives students who previously showed only average results an adventure that becomes a strong motivating factor for career development. They are now professional musicians. A part of former participants of the internship have returned to Ventspils, work at Ventspils Music High School and successfully use the experience gained abroad and a broader perspective on music and its teaching. 3. The mobility of Ventspils Music High School pedagogues to Estonia will allow them to gain experience observing specialties and theories lessons, as well as conducting open lessons with Estonian students and discussing the methods used with Estonian teachers. Mobility participants will study the practice of Estonian colleagues in creating interdisciplinary connections, especially the subject of theory linking the curriculum with the curriculum of specialties. Experience will be gained and the opportunity to compare the two partner schools organization of methodical work, provision of continuing education, modernization of curriculum, cooperation with the labor market. Information about the experience of Estonian colleagues in creating a system for online learning could be especially useful - this information could become the basis for achieving the strategic goal of the Ventspils Music High School – the introduction of on-line training and for attracting students from third countries. 4. Mobility of Ventspils Music High School pedagogues to Finland, similar to the case of Estonia, will provide experience and the opportunity to compare the practices of schools in Tartu and Helsinki, as well as the opportunity to evaluate the use of the acquired experience in Ventspils Music high school work. The focus of the content of the Helsinki mobility, alongside the curriculum and methods of the specialties, is put on the interdisciplinary connection, connection with the labor market and the new school approach to the organization of education, which projects in the applicant's mind is similar to modular education.
