Basic competences

For all three levels of education so-called “transversal competences” have been elaborated that apply to both music education in schools and the visual arts. The specific content and standards to be attained of the general “disciplinary competences” change according to the different age groups and the local, social and cultural circumstances.

Transversal competences

• Acquisition of a sensory language
• Ability to recognise personal sensations and emotions and to recognise and respect those of other pupils
• Acceptance and respect of one’s own culture and that of the other pupils
• Placing one’s own capacities at the disposal of others
• Sufficient confidence to express pleasure and present one’s own products
• Self-assessment, critical analysis and argumentation

General disciplinary competences

• Development of receptiveness to the world of sound: appreciation and acquisition of an artistic and musical language
• Personal expression using the voice, body and instruments
• Rhythmic and melodic activity and creation
