Act

Riehm has significantly shaped the further development of music pedagogy within Waldorf schools since the 1970s, as a trainer, as a composer of numerous vocal and instrumental works for school use, as well as through his fundamental writing "Music lessons from living human studies". As a valued university lecturer, he developed an integral pedagogical concept that goes far beyond the usual subject boundaries. As a composer he left behind an extensive, largely unpublished oeuvre. In connection with Riehm's diverse work, the Peter Michael Riehm Institute for musical interdisciplinary research was founded in Stuttgart in 2011.
