The philosophical concept of the event represents a way of thinking beyond what can be empirically grasped, which can only find expression linguistically through approximations. This is where its appeal lies for the discourse on music education. The contributions presented here aim to stimulate this discourse on various levels - from school practice to the philosophy of music education. Arguments are made from multiple perspectives: focusing on music education in general schools, from the viewpoint of instrumental and vocal pedagogy, elementary music education, as well as from an artistic standpoint.
