Learning to describe music - language-sensitive music lessons between theory and practice

Dr. Theresa Meyer (Hildesheim)

How do students describe music and what can we learn from this for teaching? Theresa Meyer investigated this question in her dissertation, the results of which she will present in this seminar session. As part of an empirical study, she examined how learners write about music from a music education and language didactics perspective - and what consequences this has for language-sensitive music lessons. She will not only share her scientific findings, but also her own experiences from teaching and her work as a trainer for teachers and those involved in teacher training - and report on what research and practice really have to do with each other. Afterwards, there will be room for questions and discussion.
