Teaching Chinese Music

Today Odila Schröder will take us on a different “journey”, exploring the edges of what can be considered “Chinese” music. Since 2020 Odila has been part of a project, the China-School-Academy, writing teaching modules and providing trainings for German high school teachers. As part of that project she developed a module on Chinese music, essentially a “listening journey“, meant to engage students in the question what “Chinese music” is.  In this podcast Odila will give us a a short introduction to the module.

The songs and sounds mentioned in this podcast can be found in an accompanying playlist. A longer playlist with a broader range of Chinese music can be found here. The full teaching module (in German) and more information on the individual pieces is available on the homepage of the China-Schul-Akademie: https://www.china-schul-akademie.de/lernmodule/musik/.
