IEM: Creativity and Innovation

The Institute of Musical Education Emilio Molina was founded twenty years ago as a continuation of the educational work of the Professor of Accompaniment and Improvisation at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Madrid, Dr. Emilio Molina. Around it has been progressively developed the central idea that drives us: development of a method of teaching music from improvisation, musical based on understanding, creativity, practice and analysis. ThisMethods of Improvisation now covers concrete methodological proposals for teaching instrumental (the individual collective, main instrument of the complementary), musical language, analysis, the composition, the choir, musical initiation (in general education or specialized music schools or conservatories), and in general, in all facets and levels of music teaching.

The Institute is organized byAssociation the same name, encompassing both the founding teachers of the methodology of improvisation and all those that have been incorporated into the project and enrich their experience. Also part of the Association all those who share our philosophy and proposals. Both are essential to the gradual spread of a project that aspires to contribute to a renewal of music education within and outside our borders that we inescapable.

The “IEM Teachers” occupy a central place in this project, as we are aware that training and retraining of teachers is essential to educational reform that we need. For this reason we have a compact group of specialists from diverse disciplines to develop the methodology in many different fields and at all levels. This group will gradually incorporating Teachers who obtain “IEM Teacher Certificate“.

In this course, which have already been held 16 editions, creativity seething between teachers and students and spontaneously generated activities and proposals of great entertainment value and artistic.
