Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Music is said to have a positive effect on health. However, many of the existing findings are questionable. In addition, there are findings from other disciplines that even point out that music can also make people ill. In the course of the seminar, the effectiveness of music on the body and sensation will be investigated and different theories, concepts and studies will be discussed with regard to their content. Not only important experimental studies will be discussed, but also aspects of music therapy and the effects of forms of youth music (e.g. metal, rap, hip-hop).

Assessment and permitted materials

Regular active participation, presentation and handout to an own or given study on the topic.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Regular active participation, presentation and handout to an own or given study on the topic.

Examination topics

Presentation (paper) and handout to an own or given study on the topic. The topic should be understood and processed accordingly (further literature, basics and studies) and should be able to be critically questioned and reflected upon. The examination material thus refers to the theoretical and methodical processing of the respective topic.
