This course offers a broad introduction to Musikvermittlung. We will explore practical, hands-on approaches to communicating (about) music for a general public. We will define the range of activities which fall under the descriptor 'public musicology', including: writing programme/recording liner notes; giving pre-concert talks; leading workshops; radio and television broadcasting; YouTube tutorials; teaching in adult education; working with children and young people; and more. 

We will consider the increasing importance of Musikvermittlung in the career portfolios of musicians, teachers and musicologists. Current research will inform our understanding of audiences as heterogenous groups with context-driven needs. Our learning materials will be drawn from a wide range of current and historical examples of Musikvermittlung.

We will collaborate with professional colleagues from the Freiburg Barockorchester and Ensemble Recherche to develop real-life, professional-standard examples of Musikvermittlung.  

Teaching languages are English and German. Teaching takes place in person, apart from online tutorial time.
