International networks

Centro Superior Música Creativa is proud to be part of a strong European network of partners, actively collaborating to enrich our educational offerings. We are members of key international organizations such as the Association Européenne des Conservatoires (AEC), the International Association of Schools of Jazz (IASJ), and the European Folk Network (EFN). 

In addition, we participate in consortia like the House of Europe and contribute actively to various working groups and educational platforms. This extensive international involvement ensures that our students, faculty, and staff benefit from a dynamic, global learning environment and cutting-edge developments in music education. 

The AEC Pop and Jazz Platform (PJP) Preparatory Working Group within the Association Européenne des Conservatoires (AEC) is dedicated to strengthening the presence, diversity, and quality of jazz, pop, folk, world music, and related programmes across European Higher Music Education institutions. 

Established in 2005, the working group provides a regular forum for educators and institutions to exchange ideas, network, and address pedagogical, artistic, and industry-related issues in contemporary music education  

Through the annual Pop & Jazz Platform meetings, the group promotes inclusive dialogue on genre diversity, teaching methods, artistic identity, and internationalisation in music training. 

Our Artistic Director, Mario Carrillo, is a highly active member of this working group. He contributes to shaping its agenda and events through presentations and leadership, helping drive innovation in pop and jazz education across Europe.  

By actively participating in the PJP Working Group, Centro Superior Música Creativa both shares its vision and learns from the experience and innovation of other institutions. This ongoing exchange strengthens our connection to the international music education community and directly enriches the quality and relevance of our own educational project. 

House of Europe offers a model to foster interaction between the local population and immigrants through songwriting and live music creation. We organize participatory workshops for immigrants and music students, where, through guided facilitation, they share their stories and musical traditions, transforming them together into music.

Música Creativa is an active member institution of the Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Académies de Musique et Musikhochschulen (AEC) and of Asociación Internacional de Escuelas de Jazz (IASJ). These two organizations provide diverse yearly events for staff, teachers and students of European higher music education institutions to come together and share experiences through thematic platforms, conferences, seminars and other relevant events.
