Abstract
AbstractThe following article will explore the opportunities that medieval music offers in music lessons for teachers as well as for students, with reference to Thuringia's music curriculum for classes 11 and 12 (1999). This type of music should receive greater attention, because at present it only contributes to teaching specific competencies in four out of six semesters. However, medieval music is the origin of today's music reception. By studying the chants of the Middle Ages, but above all by singing medieval melodies during lessons, students can immediately perceive changes in the history of music. This conscious listening experience, although very different from the current culture of hearing, makes the changes and the continuity of medieval music come alive for the students. Furthermore, the article focusses on the history of medieval music education in the upper grade levels: in eastern Germany, only after the fall of the Berlin Wall 1989 has it been possible to study medieval music at all.
