The Institute for Music and Movement Pedagogy / Rhythmics and Music Physiology is a university training center and part of the Vienna State University for Music and Performing Arts in Austria .
history
Since the reorganization of the university into 24 institutes in 2002, the “Institute for Music and Movement Education and Music Therapy” was Institute 13 and consisted of three departments with different fields of activity. In October 2016, the music therapy division was spun off into an independent institute. This led to the renaming of the Institute for Music and Movement Education / Rhythmics and Music Physiology with two departments. It offers a wide range of courses in the artistic , educational , therapeutic and scientific fields. The amalgamation of two areas with different historical predecessors can be seen as an administrative unit, whose departments continue to operate independently.
The main administrative center is at Singerstraße 26 in the first district. The building was renovated in 2010 and is part of the former Franciscan monastery . Further classrooms are at Rennweg 8, at Ungargasse 14, at Lothringerstr. 18, Metternichgasse 8 and on the university campus at Anton-von-Webern-Platz 1.
Department of Music and Movement Education / Rhythm
The department is the world's largest training center for music and movement education (rhythm) and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2010.
Rhythm is an artistic-pedagogical way of working. It promotes personal development and creativity, differentiates perception, deepens body experience and expands people's communication skills. She works with the connecting elements of music and movement and uses voice and materials. Rhythm allows playfulness, gives space for experiment.
The Music and Movement Education / Rhythmics major serves the artistic-pedagogical and scientific pre-vocational training for teaching at higher vocational schools, in music, social and special educational institutions, in pre-school education and in the school sector, in youth and adult education as well as in free occupation.
Department of Music Physiology
In 1974, Hilde Langer-Rühl founded the "Course for Breathing, Voice and Movement Education for Instrumentalists", from which in 2002 the department for integrative breathing, voice and movement training emerged. For the first time in Austria, a merger of teachers in the field of music physiology and musicians' medicine took place under the direction of Bernhard Riebl. In October 2016 the name was changed to "Department of Music Physiology".
The courses and the breathing, voice and movement training for instrumentalists serve all students at the university. By working on breath, voice, movement, concentration, contact and movement design, the artistic qualities for concert activity, performance practice and / or educational activity should be further developed. In addition to supporting artistic creation, the aim is to reduce the incidence and duration of illness of music-specific problems, i.e. H. Prevention and secondary prevention for students.
" Performance Science" is increasingly establishing itself as an interdisciplinary, scientifically influenced research direction at the department. This Musizierwissenschaft connects the parts of the systematic musicology ( Musical Acoustics , music psychology and music physiology ) with practical issues of sensorimotor (interaction of sensory and motor skills), the ergonomics (appropriate execution conditions), the collection of physical and mental stress factors , the acoustic and physiological Optimization of musical instruments . The Austrian Society for Music and Medicine (musicians' medicine, music physiology, music psychology) has had its headquarters at the department since 2009 .
