quality
> Concerts for children as well as concerts
by children are a total work of
art. They have a specific effect because
they are put on stage with a
specific artistic attitude and drama -
turgical know-how. Again, education
managers and music educators don’t
have to know everything, but they are
responsible for the artistic fine tuning
of their projects and for collaborating
with professionals such as directors
or light designers.
> Engaging with art means to be open to
experiment and to deal with all aspects
of what is being created. Music
education projects may contain elements
of experiment to sensitise children
and adolescents to the power
and the fragility of artistic messages.
> Although tried and tested schemes
are being established, venturing onto
new paths is essential. Only continuous
development and incessant challenge
can guarantee quality in music
education.
