Music workshop in year 5 of Richtsberg Secondary School in Marburg

130 children are to receive group instruction on an instrument every week, while at the same time learning about music theory. This is what this project of the music department of Richtsberg Secondary School in Marburg, Hesse, begun this summer, aspires to. After an initial orientation period, students were free to opt for the piano, song, guitar, orchestra, drums, or strings class. A project like this naturally requires great efforts in manpower and materials. We are very grateful to the Hans Thomann Foundation for their generous and extremely non-bureaucratic donation of 20 keyboards. If only there were more such benevolent institutions devoted to music and youth!
