Erasmus Program

The Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana is part of a consortium of schools in Europe belonging to the Erasmus program. In part, students attending Erasmus member schools can spend a semester studying at a partner school for no additional tuition. CSI horn students have been to Leipzig's Hochschule for Music and Theater, Helsinki, to Frank Lloyd in Essen in Germany, Trinity College in London and to Hungary.

However, the best feature of Erasmus could be that teachers may also go
  on one-week exchanges. Students in exchange
  schools benefit from a visit by David Johnson and
  students at CSI receive lessons with a series of
  guest artists.
