Further Education
Stella Vorarlberg offers various further education formats for different target groups. The focus is on musicians, music educators and people with previous musical experience who, depending on their previous knowledge, want to acquire additional musical or music education qualifications. The courses are geared towards current market needs and social trends related to music in the broader sense.
Elementary music pedagogy course (EMP)
This course is aimed at people from (music) education and social professions who would like to expand and deepen their field of activity in the area of music. The course offers a particularly useful further training opportunity for instrumental teachers who already work in the field of EMP, teach in cooperative classes or are looking for new pedagogical models for working with groups. The focus is on a well-founded theoretical and practical examination of the holistic approach to elementary music-making as well as the students’ own artistic development. Music, movement and language are combined and open up scope for creative design with children aged 0 – 10 years.

BLICK.punkt 2024 workshops
Music right from the start
On this BLICK.Punkt weekend, the very youngest children are the focus of elementary music-making. How do I bridge the gap from baby to toddler to children’s group? How do I involve parents as equal participants? What content is suitable for young AND old?
Two speakers offer insights into their everyday work with child & parent groups and open their suitcases full of creative possibilities with music, movement and language.
Songs for the very youngest
Making music with babies, singing with toddlers….is immersion in the elemental and pure joy!
We are moved by rocking and dancing, learn to feel, name and understand our bodies in a playful way, listen to our voices and experience our moods.
With a variety of songs, texts, pieces of music and play ideas, Michaela Kyllönen opens up stimulating perspectives for work in child & parent groups.

Music for playing, dancing & dreaming in child & parent groups
In music baby groups, babies are sung to and played with children’s songs and verses. The adult caregivers sing and make music together, the children enjoy listening and feeling and it is fascinating to see how naturally the children become more and more active during the course and start to join in.
As toddlers become more independent, their needs change and so do the content and approach of the teacher in the music lessons. From baby music groups to children’s music groups, which we teachers design and lead.
In this weekend workshop, we will explore and experience how we as elementary music teachers can strike a good balance here, find a good balance between addressing both children and adults and how we can guide and conjure up lively music-making moments in every child and parent group.
Songs written by Agnes Haider and music games for improvising and grooving await you. Immerse yourself in singing, making music and also reflecting and together we will create a transfer into our everyday life with child & parent groups.
