The European research project "Schools@Concerts - Tuning up for the music experience", which is anchored at the University Mozarteum Salzburg, focuses on cooperations between schools and concert organizers and researches them from different perspectives through a multiple case study.

The European research project unites researchers from nine countries (AUT, POL, HUN, IRL, GBR, CRO, MAC, GER, SRB) on the common focus of cooperation projects of schools with concert organizers. The aim of this project is to compare individual projects in the respective countries in terms of structure and content, and thus to contribute to the development of theory in the context of music education and schools. The focus is on established cooperation projects in which school classes visit a classical orchestra concert as part of their music lessons and this concert visit is prepared and followed up by various activities. Methodologically, this is a multiple case study (Stake 2005; Ilari & Young 2016) based on empirical data from the partners involved (students, teachers, concert organizers). The collaborative research process will focus primarily on the following topics:

  • Goals/expectations and roles of the involved persons (students, teachers, concert organizers) (Mall 2014)
  • Pre- and post-concert models related to the concert visit
  • Experiences and experiences of the involved students (Bernhofer 2016)
