Stella Vorarlberg offers a diverse range of continuing education programs tailored to various target groups. At the heart of these offerings are musicians, music educators, and individuals with prior musical experience who seek to enhance their skills through additional musical or pedagogical qualifications, depending on their background. The programs are designed to reflect current market demands and societal trends related to music in a broader sense.
Lehrgang Elementare Musikpädagogik (EMP)
This program is designed for professionals in (music) education and social work who wish to expand and deepen their expertise in the field of music. It offers a meaningful opportunity for further education, especially for instrumental educators already working in the field of Elemental Music Pedagogy (EMP), teaching in cooperative classroom settings, or seeking new pedagogical models for working with groups. The program focuses on a well-grounded theoretical and practical engagement with the holistic approach of Elemental Music-Making, as well as on participants’ own artistic development. Music, movement, and language are interwoven, creating space for creative expression with children aged 0 to 10.
BLICK.punkt 2025 Workshops
As part of the BLICK.punkt workshop series, aspects of elementary music-making are presented that can be implemented in lessons with children in music schools, schools, or kindergartens. The training courses are also suitable for people who would like to enrich their everyday musical life in pedagogical professions with elementary music building blocks. Based on elementary music-making, practical approaches in various facets are discovered and tried out.
