This study – part of the overall evaluation of a BLK pilot project – pursues the aim of analyzing and changing music education.

The research question is: What influence does music education, implemented in different variants – particularly with the inclusion of learning an instrument – have on the development of different musical abilities in ten- to twelve-year-olds?

Designed as a quasi-experimental comparison, findings are obtained regarding the development of reproductive, cognitive (listening, knowledge, application), and sensory-receptive musical abilities.

The extensive construction of informal learning and performance tests in the form of group and individual tests allows, in some cases for the first time, the investigation of complex abilities in musical performance. Further tests, including standardized tests, and surveys are included and documented, among other things, to determine the covariates for the inferential statistical procedures.

The research questions are placed in the contexts of developmental psychological findings, action-oriented theory, and relationships concerning learning and educational theory.

From the results, consequences for music didactics and educational policy are formulated, whereby the concept of “basic musical competence” plays a central role.
