Education through music--the model of the Musikkindergarten Berlin.
Uibel S1.
Abstract
In 2005, the pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim
initiated the Musikkindergarten Berlin as the first kindergarten in
which music is not only used as an occasional add-on but as the central
education medium for the child every day. The skills of specially
trained kindergarten teachers combined with regular visits by
professional musicians of the Staatskapelle Berlin (the Berlin State
Opera orchestra) form the basis of a new educational concept, in which
children experience music in all its different aspects and in its unique
capability as a transfer medium into all the other educational areas.
In this context, the method, the aim, and the experimental ground is not
only education in or with music, but through music. This paper provides
information and examples about first-hand experiences over the last six
years.
