During the past three years, the Pre-College Working Group of the ERASMUS Thematic Network for Music "Polifonia" collected and analysed information about systems and approaches to music education and training before the higher education level and about the preparation and admission of music students to higher music education institutions. This work resulted in large amount of publications, studies, examples of good practice and national descriptions of pre-college music education systems in 26 European countries.

The working group would like to present its findings, share its experiences and discuss this important subject with colleagues from all over Europe at this conference which will be hosted by the Barratt Due Institute of Music and the Norwegian Academy of Music. The conference will see keynote speeches by practicioners and scientists, group discussions, presentations of examples of good practice and panel discussions with experts from all over Europe.
