Improvisation und Pädagogik - Wie lässt sich Improvisation lernen und lehren?

In the organizer's words:

This workshop will also take place on January 23-25, 2026.

We show ways to learn and pass on improvisational knowledge and skills, to understand the essence of improvisation through playing practice and analysis.
Inspired by several years of collaboration with Prof. Dr. Peter Jarchow, Heidemarie Wiesner and Raffael Kircher are offering this course, which can be used either as a workshop or as further training for teachers.

The course is primarily aimed at musicians (vocal, instrumental) who want to incorporate improvisation into their work, receive new inspiration or practice it in artistic encounters. Interested parties from other fields (dance, visual arts, education, therapy) are welcome!

The main prerequisite for participation is an open, curious attitude.
Musical knowledge and skills are helpful but not essential.
You can/should bring your own instruments.

Thematic focus:

• Group improvisation
• Exercises in leading a group improvisation
• Methodology of improvisation pedagogy
• Playful-experimental approach to musical parameters: meter/rhythm/tempo, harmony, melody, dynamics, style, form
• Playing according to programmatic guidelines: Themes from literature, philosophy, haikus, fairy tales, moods, visual arts, colors, dance, numbers, the impossible, contradictions

Participation can be certified as further training on request.
