Abstract

This study examines the pedagogical approaches to improvisation in Italian higher music education institutions, focusing on how conservatories have developed distinctive training models that balance traditional classical education with contemporary improvisational practices. Through qualitative analysis of curriculum structures, teaching methodologies, and student outcomes across major Italian conservatories, this research reveals a unique educational paradigm that creates dynamic "expressive spaces" for musical creativity. The findings demonstrate how Italian music education has constructed an improvisational teaching framework that maintains institutional rigor while fostering artistic freedom. This model presents a valuable case study for understanding how traditional music education can adapt to contemporary demands for creativity and individual expression while preserving its classical foundations.
