D’accordo con la libertà interpretativa, ma con l’arbitrio,…
Ein Plädoyer für schüleraktivierenden Instrumentalunterricht Von lic. phil. Renate Lemmer Schönenberger Kennen Sie diese drei Situationen? Die SchülerIn ist wortkarg und antriebslos … Sie als Lehrperson sind überaktiv und versuchen krampfhaft, die SchülerIn zu motivieren … nach dem Unterricht sind Sie erschöpft und ausgelaugt.

It consists of a small piece of cylindrical shape, occupying about 5.2 cm of space between the closed top end of the flute and the bezel through which…
