Abstract excerpt

When the ISME congress in Helsinki takes Sustainability in Music Education as its theme, the question arises as to what sustainability might mean in the music-oriented education sector in 2024. When shaking this complex of questions intensively, elementary human basic competences push themselves into the front row of sustainable resources for the author of this paper in the midst of our current world events, among them the genuinely human ability to come into contact with each other through vocal and instrumental sounds and to communicate with each other in the context of changing social-cultural circumstances. This is where the paper finds its thematic focus: in the challenging dialogue-performative practice at music universities.
