Research in instrumental and vocal pedagogy is very important to me. I really appreciated the exchange with (inter) national working colleagues and at the same time was able to get involved in some working groups. In recent years these have been the “design based research” working group and the “Research Association for Scientific Music Education”. Finally, there is a special focus on promoting young academics.

In accordance with the main focus of my work, my lectures and workshops cover a wide range of topics in both didactic and scientific fields. The framework also varies between (inter) national conferences, music schools, music schools, music colleges, music associations, professional societies and scientific working groups.

The objectives, content and didactic considerations of my instrumental and vocal teaching university teaching are characterized by a close connection between research and teaching, and a penetration of theory and practice as well as art and education. The general recommendations of working groups for the revision of music education training at music universities or music colleges (including Innovative Conservatoire (ICON), DMR, ALMS, DGfMM), the current (lively) professional discussion, the professional profile and professional fields of the instrumental and vocal teacher are taken into account in a changing society, my personal job-related experiences and my very personal career. A range of topics with a wide range of content can and should promote the individual profile of students.

In an (inter) disciplinary approach, the acquisition and mediation of music or the instrumental and vocal learning and teaching of music is explored. The findings are generated through a historical, empirical, systematic and comparative research approach. In the course of constantly changing fields of practice and job profiles, scientific music education enables everyday theories and existing educational experience to be evaluated and new approaches to the acquisition and communication of music to be developed.
