Music Didactics at the Free University of Bolzano-Bozen

The article describes the situation of Music Pedagogy learning at the Free University of Bozen, in a multi-ethnic, non-state context. As it turns out, these special conditions have allowed, within the general framework set by Italian legislation, to reshape the educational offer by placing a strong emphasis on laboratory activities, which are of great help to students for acquiring didactic competences in the domain of music, considering that their initial musical knowledge is often minimal, sometimes almost non-existent.
