Music in the Upper School:
Music can also be taken as a subject for the Abitur. The guideline is that the subject Music should be taken at least in Grade 10 if the Abitur is to be taken in it. In the upper school, the intellectual access to music becomes more important, e.g., thinking, reflecting and writing about music. Prior instrumental experience is not strictly necessary; there is a separate Music Practice offering for this.
The new curricula include the following thematic focus areas:
"Music in its Form" with "Structure and Function",
"Space and Time" with "Meaning and Significance",
"Music in its Perception and Impact".
Further specifics will follow shortly.
