On the Culture of “Proficiency” Searching for Subject-Oriented Parameters

The course is being presented in partial cooperation with students of other fields of study at the University Mozarteum. The point of departure for our joint practical and theoretical work will be the vocal or instrumental proficiency of the individual participants on the basis of ‘learned’ techniques of singing and playing. Through suggestions made by the instructor, the respective techniques will be applied in expanded communicative contexts and made artistically manageable in correspondingly expanded aesthetic contexts. The processes of redirection

• from a solo-performance-oriented activity to a partner-oriented, communicative activity, and
• from a reproductive activity to a productive activity

are to be documented in written form by the participating students of the 2^nd study section of the field of study “Music and Movement Education” under selected perspectives and reflected upon from a didactic perspective. To facilitate cooperation with students of different fields of study, the course is offered in compact form on two weekends (see above).
