Music high school
A music high school is a music school of the high school system , with a musical focus, which is intended to prepare specifically for musical education. Music high schools are partly all-day schools or boarding schools .
features
In music high schools, special musical subjects such as rhythm , music theory , ear training , composition and others are taught right from the start. Occasionally, attending a music performance course is compulsory.
Usually each student has to play at least one musical instrument. In addition to the general university entrance qualification, musical skills should be specifically trained and prepared for a music-related professional field. In some cases, there are collaborations with local music academies so that particularly talented musicians can receive instrumental lessons from music professors at an early stage .
history
The idea of the modern music high school goes back to Leo Kestenberg , who developed his concept as early as 1921 and who was later, until 1932, Ministerialrat in the Prussian Ministry for Science, Art and Education . The first educational institution to include Kestenberg's ideas of the music high school in its conception was the Musisches Gymnasium in Frankfurt am Main (1939–1945) under the direction of Kurt Thomas . In 1941 a second music school was opened in Leipzig under the artistic direction of Günther Ramin . Incidentally, both schools were called "Musisches Gymnasium" because their conception differed from that of the "Musikgymnasium" in essential points. In addition, one did not want to fall back on the term coined by Kestenberg - Kestenberg was a Jew - "music high school" in the Third Reich. Both schools were closed in 1945.
