In addition, the participants should be enabled to realize the "Didactic Principles" listed in the curriculum in the classroom as well as to understand music, movement and art as fundamental and also to teach them in an interdisciplinary way (in connection with German, foreign language instruction/English, physical education and sports). In the artistic-pedagogical work, the participants should be encouraged to go in search of the artistic themselves again, to discover the creative in themselves, to expand their repertoire of methods in order to be increasingly able to deal competently with creative impulses of their students.

Elemental music and movement education encompasses and integrates all musical and dance/movement subject areas that appear to be of central importance for an artistic-pedagogical (human) education. Essential foundations are the connection and the in-relation of speech/voice, music and movement/dance and art as well as their interdisciplinary inspiration. Fundamental and characteristic for elemental music and movement education is the artistic-pedagogical and creative handling of music, language and dance in the work with groups. Special working principles are derived from this: Exploration, improvisation, composition, reproduction, reception and reflection.
