Music education has long centered solely on human creativity and culture. Yet, the more we learn about the sonic worlds of (non-human) animals, the more we recognize that musicality is not an exclusively human domain. Examples are the patterned songs of birds or whales, the rhythmic communication of primates or insects, or even the subtly lullabies of a mother sow. This presentation explores how engaging with non-human music can enrich music education, broaden ecological awareness, and foster empathy towards the more-than-human world.Drawing on interdisciplinary insights from the fields of ethnomusicology, zoomusicology, biomusicality, artistic research and the Human-Animal Studies, this presentation argues for a reimagining of music education as a practice that opens up for perspectives on and awareness of a multispecies world. It suggests that by listening to and learning from animal sound-making, educators can help students experience music as a shared, ecological phenomenon rather than a solely human-cultural one. Classroom activities might include the study of birdsong as melodic inspiration, composing pieces that incorporate recorded environmental soundscapes, or analyzing rhythmic patterns found in non-human vocalizations. Such approaches invite learners to consider questions of communication, consciousness, coexistence, and other practical and philosophical thoughts through a musical lens.The pedagogical implications are threefold. First, they challenge anthropocentric assumptions in music curricula by situating and experiencing human music within the broader context of animal music and therefore challenge what we call and can imagine as “music”. Second, they encourage social and environmental responsibility by connecting music education to ecological literacy and care for the planet. And third, by cultivating multispecies listening, music educators can inspire students to hear the world anew, fostering compassion for all forms of life. Ultimately, bridging the gap between human and animal music is not only an artistic or scientific endeavor - It is an ethical one.In doing so, this presentation aligns with the conference’s theme of “Building Bridges for All,” suggesting that unity in music education must also include the non-human voices that share our world.
