Pop encourages you to do your own thing – without any significant practical instrumental requirements. Sound is almost always created digitally in current music productions and the interfaces and programs make it possible to carry out even complex interventions in sound, form and more with a click or a swipe.

This course focuses on the perception and design of sound by teaching production techniques for the creative use of existing material as well as the use of applicable tools. The intensive study of sound, samples and loops not only helps to understand music, but also to shed light on the contexts of its creation and reception. Particular attention is paid to the deconstruction of the sonic origins of stylistically hybrid pop music, be it instrumental, vocal or in the production process.

The course is aimed at music teachers who want to design their lessons in a modern and creative way. The course teaches concepts for designing music lessons in such a way that the three subject-specific areas of competence of reception, production and reflection can be promoted, intercultural learning can be integrated and new media can be used sensibly. In addition, the key perspectives (W, ESD, D) and interdisciplinary skills of the curriculum can be addressed.

The training is part of the BMBF project COMeARTS Musik and is designed and scientifically evaluated by an interprofessional development team. The trainers are employed at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg.
