The exchange about the effect of music was great. It encourages social interaction and allows learners to experience different perspectives.

The modules were very well received by the students and created a motivating learning atmosphere.

Thank you very much – we really enjoyed it, and the students participated attentively and enthusiastically.

Music@Now opens up the world of music to young people in a highly original and at the same time professional way. A wonderful initiative!

Music is a universal language that builds bridges between people. At a time when social cohesion matters more than ever, Music@Now impressively shows how culture can be used as a tool for understanding and peace. It is our task to support such initiatives and to harness the power of music for a better future.

Especially for children whose only access to education is through kindergarten and later school, music is the ideal way to discover the joy of learning. Musical talent does not depend on one’s background. This gives disadvantaged children the chance to earn well-deserved recognition within the group. That is precisely why Music@Now’s approach to music education is ideal and barrier-free.

For me, Music@NOW shows very convincingly how music lessons can work today: accessible, creative and, at the same time, well-founded in content. What I find particularly strong is that the materials build on students’ diverse musical backgrounds and connect them with a wide range of cultural perspectives. This makes playing music together possible even without much prior knowledge – and creates lessons that do not just convey content, but foster genuine exchange and active participation.

What makes Music@NOW special is the consistent connection between music history and the everyday lives of young people. When classical works are put in relation to current songs, it creates an approach that sparks curiosity and enables lasting understanding. Students are not encouraged to simply consume, but to actively shape their own musical learning process. That is exactly where the great pedagogical strength of this approach lies.
