Using the example of the eight-hour lesson series How hip-hop came to Germany, the training focuses on the practical examination of concrete possibilities of digital songwriting with middle and high school students.Exemplary German rap songs are used to trace the emergence and regional developments of hip hop in Germany from 1980 to the present day. Following on from the music history and theory input, the participants will try out creative task formats for composing and producing their own German rap songs. In the end, the participants will be introduced to working with a collaborative, free and browser-based digital audio workstation (DAW), which is therefore independent of the respective end devices. 

The training is designed and evaluated as part of the BMBF project COMeARTS Musik and the DFG project “Hip-Hop's Fifth Element: Knowledge, Pedagogy, and Artist-Scholar-Collaboration”.
