The didactic principle of multi-perspectivity means recognising and appreciating diversity and differences in people's lives and values. This makes it particularly well suited to doing justice to the colourful heterogeneity in the classroom and enabling all learners – with their individual backgrounds – to participate equally in lessons.

This principle opens up many exciting and creative approaches to music teaching. For example, topics such as music history can be viewed from very different perspectives. The various interpretations and personal associations that arise when listening to music can also be taken up and used productively.

In the workshop, we draw on Dankmar Venus's system of five approaches to music – production, reproduction, reception, transposition and reflection. Using these categories, concrete methods of multi-perspectivity are presented, tried out together and reflected upon in discussion.

In addition, participants will learn about specific operators – verbs that describe multi-perspective processes, such as "fantasise," "narrativise," "associate" or "construct." These serve as impulses for developing your own project ideas, which can then be shared directly with the group and further developed.

A particularly enriching aspect of this is the diverse composition of the participants: different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives not only make the workshop interesting, but also particularly lively. Since multi-perspectivity is geared towards participation and democracy, no prior knowledge is required – everyone is welcome!
