The proven music course RONDO forms the basis for a hands-on music education. With the new editions of RONDO 7/8, it aligns with the competency-oriented standards of the new curriculum. Students experience music by: - getting to know songs from various genres in their social contexts - experimenting and making music with traditional school instruments and modern band instruments - understanding music history through age-appropriate sequences - developing their own taste based on specific criteria - actively and receptively experiencing non-European music cultures - creating their own music productions - practicing or inventing choreographies for dances and movement designs. Through active engagement with the diverse areas of music, individual competencies are fostered.
