Classical music is often perceived as boring, outdated, and elitist. Research shows that in the US, for example, only 10-15% of the population have a close relationship with classical music 1, and less than 4% of adults attend classical concerts of their community orchestras on a regular basis2. Classical music’s largely instrumental, abstract, and intellectual nature is arguably part of the explanation. Traditional methods of teaching the violin do not focus on developing skills that enable children to connect, comprehend, and enjoy listening to classical music. They primarily focus on technical skills, often resulting in an educational experience that undervalues the expressive and communicative aspects of music. Classical music is being played and experienced outside of its context and thus rendered a "museum artifact".My aim is to “demuseumify” classical music through a collection of materials that make classical music understandable for primary school violin students. The collection harnesses the possibilities of contemporary technology to make music accessible in diverse and individualized ways by linking digital media such as podcasts and videos with hands-on, cross-disciplinary tasks. Through this versatile collection, listening to music is intended to become a part of everyday life of both children and their families, regardless of their social background. In doing so, it cultivates the motivation to play, enjoy, comprehend and practice the violin. The method is based on the active listening method as described by Biegholdt3. Following his account, the material integrates four core components: production, where children develop their own musical ideas inspired by classical works; reproduction, in which they play simplified, two-part pieces of the works on their instrument; transformation, which connects music with other forms of art such as painting, dance, and poetry; and reflection, through which they consciously process and express their impressions. It differs from traditional approaches that incorporate music listening, such as the Suzuki School, which aim for memorization of pieces and performance excellence 4. The booklet has already been tested in individual and group lessons and demonstrated that both motivation and musical interest could be sustainably increased. While I am not proposing a new violin school, my method assists a holistic and exploratory engagement with the music by building bridges between today’s world and that of the composers, making these connections tangible and vivid. In doing so it leads to the demuseumification of classical music.
