Music lessons from 7 countries
„I never saw something like that!“ The verbal reaction of a british researcher for music didactics on an international conference upon watching a recording of a German music lesson. This exclamation leads to the assumption that not only theory languages differ in speaking about the teaching of music, but also the object that is being talked about: praxis and cultures of music teaching. These practices and the concerning discourse are the objects of the research project. The use of video as a central method of investigation in this setting shows to be of good use as it makes a big field of aspects of music teaching visible. The main questions are: Is music teaching different in different countries and cultures? What is common and what is different? Goal of the symposium is the finding of a foundation for internationally applicable theories of music teaching.
