Teaching impulses

For secondary school classes

A special kind of double-lesson in music: for selected concerts, we offer school classes, music and drama clubs, as well as school choirs and orchestras, an interactive introduction to be held during lessons or club sessions. During these sessions, pupils engage with the content of the respective concert in a hands-on way by becoming musically active themselves, exploring different approaches and talking to musicians. This allows them to experience the concert from a broader perspective.

Spontaneous, lively and performed with great enthusiasm: the Parisian chamber orchestra Le Concert de la Loge captivates audiences on many different levels. In this teaching resource, pupils gain fascinating insights into the world of late 18th-century performance practice: how does conducting and non-verbal communication with the orchestra work when the conductor is playing the violin at the same time? And what makes Mozart’s ‘A Little Night Music’ so appealing for modern arrangements? Creative activities invite pupils to explore the concert programme from different perspectives.
