Freiburg Research and Teaching Center for Music
A Research and Teaching Center for Music (FZM) has been established at the University of Freiburg i. Br. It focuses on music-related disciplines such as musicology, music theory, music physiology/musician medicine and music education.
The newly founded center does not yet have a fixed location. An open structure is intended to enable work across the boundaries of scientific disciplines. Artists should also become researchers by systematically exploring the aesthetic possibilities of their art or investigating their art using scientific methods and incorporating their findings directly into artistic training.
At the same time, the FZM wants to closely combine research and teaching and incorporate the results of its research work directly into its own courses. Students at the Hochschule für Musik and the university can already take advantage of the joint musicology courses offered by both institutions. The next step will follow in the 2020 summer semester: from then on, they will be able to minor in music theory, music physiology and aural training at the FZM.
