Symposium for Community Music

Community music and music pedagogy: Collaborations, intersections, and new perspectives
February 21-23, 2013

For the first time in Germany, an international symposium is intended to provide a venue for discussion surrounding community music and its relationship with music education. The diverse movements of contemporary community music will be considered to answer the following questions:

Can community music's processes and practice translate into the music teachers' classroom? If so, what might the curriculum look like? Would pre-service teacher training need to change or is it a matter of professional collaboration? What might be the conditions needed to enable closer collaboration? What might be the impact on current music education and/or community music theory and practice?

Besides the keynote address, a mixture of paper presentations, and practical workshops will be used to explore the full range of community music. The official language of the symposium is English.
