Musik in der Grundschule neu denken neu gestalten

This fundamental work outlines approaches for sustainable music education, focusing on the age-appropriate development and enhancement of children's musical abilities. The music instruction is delivered progressively through a three-stage spiral curriculum that spans from initial lessons to the end of elementary school.

The Spiral Curriculum:
Stage 1: Musical learning through the body; conscious listening and discovering one's own voice; basic experiences of meter and rhythm derived from movement; exercises with rhythmic and melodic patterns as building blocks of music; working on numerous songs and spoken verses.

Stage 2: Teaching rhythmic and melodic structures through the introduction of a simple syllable language; independent handling of rhythmic and melodic patterns; making music with instruments.
