The Peter Cornelius Conservatory of the City of Mainz is a conservatory in Mainz that unites the musical training of amateurs and professional musicians under one roof. It is named after the composer Peter Cornelius .

history

Beginnings

The first Mainz Conservatory was established around 1882 and bore the name of its founder: "Paul Schumacher's Conservatory of Music". Initially in private hands, the city of Mainz acquired the institute and building in 1920 with the aim of creating a municipal music college. As director was Hans Rosbaud appointed, and in 1922 the "authorization to hold a nationally recognized music teacher testing" was the State Office of Education in Darmstadt granted.

School musicians and private music teachers have now been trained in courses lasting two to three years. Right from the start, Rosbaud attached great importance to pedagogical training, which, in addition to artistic skills, was intended to establish the quality of the graduates. In 1929, Rosbaud's successor, Hans Gál, was appointed director of the new music college, which flourished under his leadership. In 1933, Hans Gál, of Jewish origin, was removed from office by the National Socialists and emigrated to England. Nevertheless, in 1936 the Frankfurt University of Music was declared “representative” of the entire Gau, the Mainz Institute was downgraded and its name was changed to “Peter-Cornelius-Conservatory”.

The PCK in the new state capital

From 1953 the Peter Cornelius Conservatory was directed by Günter Kehr . He described his task urgently as saying that music education must create the conditions for people to understand and live the real possibilities of music. This was to be the goal of his music education work in Mainz, and in 1961 he left a “very good basis” for his successor Otto Schmitgen, who was particularly concerned with the work of Peter Cornelius. Schmitgen died in 1964.

In 1966, Volker Hoffmann, Schmitgen's deputy, was appointed director, who also focused entirely on musical education and music education. A quote from his inauguration as director sounds like today's philosophy of the conservatory in an older language: “Music leads to the consolidation of the child in the spiritual and spiritual realm; Open-mindedness and sociability, self-control and intellectual discipline are not only desirable, but realizable goals of musical education, in which the whole person is always involved. ”In the years that followed, elementary music education was continuously expanded and the training of professional musicians increasingly approximated to professional practice. Since Wolfgang Schmidt-Köngernheim left the company in 1998, Gerhard Scholz has headed the Peter Cornelius Conservatory, which moved into a new building on Binger Strasse in 2008. For the future, it is planned to deepen the partnership with the Conservatory in Dijon .

philosophy

The philosophy of the Peter Cornelius Conservatory today is as follows: Artistic and music education training must be combined in such a way that teachers in Mainz who are critical, tradition-conscious and open to new knowledge are trained. The development of the artistic personality on the one hand and course-integrated teaching internships on the other hand form aspects of the course of equal importance. This helps the music school education of Mainz children, adolescents and adults as well as all those music schools at which the Mainz graduates of the study department find their employment. The Mainz Conservatory is one of the few music training institutions that interlink the training of laypeople and professionals in such a way.

The music school department

The music school in the PCK is the largest music school in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is fully developed according to the specifications of the Association of German Music Schools (VdM). Currently more than 3,500 students aged between 3 months and over 80 are taught by almost 140 teachers, all of whom have a music education degree. The concept of the department takes into account the training to become an amateur musician as well as that of a future professional musician.

The offer of the music school includes all instruments of the classical orchestra, as well as (jazz) piano, organ, accordion, recorder, saxophone, guitar, electric guitar, electric bass, jazz-rock-pop singing and drum set / percussion. It is supplemented by well-founded singing and choir training, a large number of ensembles and a wide range of basic subjects from the elementary area. Participation in one of the ensembles or choirs of the PCK enables students to come into contact with one another and to enjoy making music together. In class auditions, various concerts and an in-house competition, they have the opportunity to present their skills alone or with others and to let others participate in their music-making.

Study Department

The music education courses, which the PCK offers in part in cooperation with the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz , are supplemented by artistic courses that can be taken undergraduate or following an instrumental or vocal education degree.

The founding idea of ​​the Peter Cornelius Conservatory is to combine professional and lay training in music “under one roof” so that the course has a strong practical relevance. In the music school branch, students can learn in a practical way what is needed in professional practice, and there they conduct mentored class visits and teaching experiments. The concerts are also partly organized in cooperation between students and music students. The “Young Ensemble”, a course of study for aspiring singers in cooperation with the State Theater Mainz and the University, is represented with its own productions in the theater schedule.

The main subject EMP ( elementary music education ) can be taken at the Peter Cornelius Conservatory as part of various courses of study.

In the preparatory training program (SVA), teachers from the study department prepare young people for studying music.
