Description

Content:
The seminar “Wunderland Musik – Gemeinsam Erleben” is the accompanying seminar for the project of the same name taking place as part of the ligeti zentrum. The project group is applying the music education concept for families developed over the past semesters and evaluating the concept’s viability.

Project Description:
The “Wunderland Musik” project is an extracurricular music education program for families with at least one child of elementary school age who have little or no regular exposure to classical music.
As part of the project, students prepare a group concert outing with the participating families, thereby creating musical experiences within the family’s learning and experiential community. During the preparatory sessions—held, for example, at the HfMT—families can try out a variety of exciting instruments, experiment with sounds, and make music together.
The goal is for families to have more frequent shared cultural experiences after the project and to take advantage of the diverse offerings in Hamburg.

Why is this topic important?
Various studies have found declining percentages of classical music listening across all segments of the population and age groups. Although parents attach great importance to their children’s cultural education, shared engagement with classical music rarely takes place, and attending a concert together involves many obstacles.
Children from families without regular exposure to classical music rely on school music classes for a broad-based musical education. However, this is problematic given the shortage of specialized teachers, which is particularly acute in elementary schools.
The project’s approach aims to break down barriers and overcome prejudices, focusing above all on harnessing the family’s potential as a community of shared experiences to strengthen family cohesion.

Why should I participate in the project?
The project provides insight into extracurricular music education. Students have the opportunity to prepare for a concert visit in close collaboration with the families. The shift in perspective gained through the development and preparation of musical content is valuable for their future professional practice. It also provides an opportunity to gain experience working with parents while still in college.
