Australia<\/h1>\n

I would highlight the immense potential that interdisciplinary, multinational teams can generate as well as how such a fantastic and dynamic environment enables ideas to flourish.<\/p>\n

Terhi Nurmikko-Fuller, faculty member at the Australian National University (mdw Incoming)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chile<\/h1>\n

One of my most cherished highlights of the trip was the series of workshops conducted with students. Their happy faces and inquisitive minds as well as the creative sparks we ignited together will remain with me for a long time.<\/p>\n

Martina St\u00fcckler, mdw faculty member<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Colombia<\/h1>\n

Teaching means sharing, and sharing means helping others. I want to inspire musicians to discover pedagogy for themselves, to become the best teachers for themselves, and to share this with others.<\/p>\n

Ana Mar\u00eda Orduz-Espinal, faculty member at the University of Antioquia in Medell\u00edn, Colombia (mdw Incoming)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Denmark<\/h1>\n

My stay in Copenhagen was more than just an exchange: new perspectives, stimulating conversations, and inspiring concepts were the nicest \u2018souvenirs\u2019 of my Erasmus experience.<\/p>\n

Julia Ostroverkhova, mdw staff member<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Estonia<\/h1>\n

I love encountering new places in a city and meeting people there by chance. You can learn so much from every person.<\/p>\n

Roozbeh Nafisi, mdw PhD student<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Japan<\/h1>\n

When you return from overseas, you see many things differently because you have new points of reference. These help you see where you are and where you want to go. I am very thankful for my experiences abroad.<\/p>\n

No\u00ebmi Haffner, mdw student<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Malaysia<\/h1>\n

When you bring musicians, educators, and leaders together, great ideas are hatched. The group can be a force for positive change and growth in higher education, in music in the region, and beyond.<\/p>\n

Lisa Herger, mdw faculty member<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

South Africa<\/h1>\n

For me, it was an impetus for learning beyond my own research topic.<\/p>\n

Abigail Wagner, mdw PhD student<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Switzerland & Belgium<\/h1>\n

I wanted to experience different countries and thus also different sound traditions and musical approaches.<\/p>\n

Xiaocheng Wang, mdw student<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Taiwan<\/h1>\n

You learn to network when you\u2019re abroad. You have to practise how to market yourself.<\/p>\n

Tim de Vries, mdw student<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Netherlands<\/h1>\n

Getting oriented in a new country is a process, and what you gain in particular is self-confidence, because at the beginning you need information and support, and you can\u2019t be shy about asking for this. In terms of your artistic personality, it broadens your horizons.<\/p>\n

Paul Hartinger, mdw student<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tunisia<\/h1>\n

It is incredibly inspiring to get to know other musical influences and also really enter into a dialogue\u2014to not merely to listen to a concert but also specifically ask questions of people from other cultures. This enriches your knowledge and changes your worldview a bit.<\/p>\n

Felix Vermeirsch, mdw student<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

United States<\/h1>\n

I learned one of the most difficult clarinet concertos and gave a solo recital at the end of the year. The past few years, I hadn\u2019t thought I could continue to improve. It was unbelievably inspiring to discover that it is, in fact, possible.<\/p>\n

D\u00e1vid K\u00e9ringer, mdw graduate<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
