Aktives Musikhören

Listening to music is an essential part of music education. Through active listening, students engage independently with the music being played, initiated by the teacher. They explore the pieces in terms of their emotional, programmatic, or structural content and acquire a fundamental repertoire of approaches. Thus, active listening also makes a significant contribution to cultural understanding. This anthology provides a detailed examination of the various methods of active listening. For each method, a practical example is presented for elementary school and one for secondary education. The selected musical works are highly diverse, featuring examples from different eras, styles, cultures, and genres. The approaches can be implemented in practice as described, and they can also be adapted and varied for other pieces of music - a true treasure trove for a varied teaching experience.
