Elementary Music Education (EME)
The Hoch Conservatory focuses on gifted young musicians, finding and nurturing talent. In the Elementary Music Pedagogy department, the Conservatory aims to discover the world of music together with children. Singing, speaking, clapping, running, moving, everything that children like to do, is used in the elementary music education to bring young musicians into contact with musical contexts. This also prepares the way for children to work with instruments. Making music for yourself, finding yourself in it, mastering it is the basis for later musical development. Children are taught in groups over progressive courses using play. Rhythmic feel, training of the ear and development of musicality are encouraged through singing, playing and dancing. Music becomes movement, pieces are created. The elementary musical education builds up systematically from course to course. The Conservatory's programme ranges from parent and child courses for children from 18 months, to early musical education, up to basic musical education for children from six years of age. Students of elementary music pedagogy also do the work placements that form part of their course in this department.
Further or parallel musical stimulation for children in the Conservatory, e.g., through instrument classes, ballet classes or music theory, is not just possible but actively encouraged.
Implementation
50
minutes of class per week,
Groups
of about 10 children.
The
courses are continually managed by a team of lecturers that themselves teach,
and lead and supervise the teaching of the students on the Elementary Music
Pedagogy course.
Courses
The
courses on offer can be attended regardless of previous knowledge of the
children.
Early Musical
Stimulation
–
Parents and children from 18 months
Duration of training -
1 year
The
course for the later development of each child can be set at a very early age.
Often infants lack rhythmic and musical stimuli, which we think can be best
passed on with the parents. Our programme allows mother/father and child to
move, dance and sing together to a musical accompaniment, and to play with
objects and sounds.
