Reflections on learning music from an early age
One year after the adoption of the music initiative, the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts is organizing a conference on 26 October 2013 on the topic of "Learning music from an early age". It is aimed at music school directors and teachers.
The focus of the conference is on the early beginning of instrumental playing and singing as well as on teaching music and movement. The prerequisites, framework conditions and peculiarities of teaching children aged four to ten will be discussed.
The event will start with three input presentations by Stefanie Stadler Elmer (Institute of Psychology at the University of Zurich), Renate Zimmer (Institute of Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Osnabrück) and Madeleine Zulauf (Formation Musique Recherche Zulauf).
Workshops with national and international experts will take place in the afternoon. Participants will explore the various facets of early learning and exchange ideas about children's particular approach to music.
The conference is primarily aimed at professionals, in particular teachers at music and elementary school, managers of these institutions and researchers.
