Aim

Based on the three central musical fields of activity/areas of competence ("singing and making music", "listening and understanding", "dancing, moving, and performing"), basic knowledge of music–aesthetic processes as sensory and creative abilities is taught. The focus is on personal, artistic self-experience as well as the linking of knowledge and skills. These processes take place in both subject-internal and subject-external processes. The associated personal experience is reflected upon and placed in the music pedagogical context of learning and teaching. This creates resonances through which the separation between self and world is relativised and transformed into relationship.
