ÉTUDE PARTENARIALE SUR LA MÉDIATION DE LA MUSIQUE (EPMM)

PARTNERSHIP RESEARCH PROJECT WITH CÉGEP DE SAINT-LAURENT, THE CONSEIL QUÉBÉCOIS DE LA MUSIQUE, THE UNIVERSITÉ DE MONTRÉAL, MÉMUQ, AND OICRM

December 2020

This project is funded by a Partnership Development Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

The Étude partenariale sur la médiation de la musique (partnership study on music mediation) is based on a close collaboration among researchers, professionals, and students around the roles of education and music mediation in the contemporary reconfiguration of the profession of musician. This collaboration is aimed at inventorying and analyzing the ways in which music mediation is integrated into the professional field and into higher education. Another objective is to co-construct, with these fields, supports for creation and evaluation of music mediation activities that will guide mediators, musicians, and musicologists at every stage of their career.

Section 1: Training in music mediation

In this section, the team explores the growing presence of cultural mediation (in the form of diploma training courses or occasional experiences in the field) in institutions of higher learning and of the professionalization of musicians, as it is emerging and having an impact on training in music professions.

Section 2: The profession of music mediator

In this section, the team investigates those who perform music mediation in its current form, their professional career paths, and their working conditions. In this section, the team collaborates to connect theoretical definitions of cultural mediation to how it is put into practice in the field of music.
