Helbling Verlag Klassik Crossover

In order to provide students with access to classical music, Klassik Crossover meets the demands of modern curricula. Practical knowledge transfer promotes musical competencies and also enables a broadening of horizons, since classical music is not automatically one of the preferred genres today. an nevertheless, to arouse students' interest and pass on the works of pioneering artists, pieces by Mozart, Grieg and more have been rearranged and reinvented as rap, reggae, calypso and rumba, for example.

Heterogeneous teaching situations pose no problem. All students are given the opportunity to actively participate in the interpretation, as the pieces include interpretation using body percussion as well as musical instruments. The booklet also combines practice and theory, as information on all original works, some with unusual interpretations, builds useful background knowledge. In addition, the following work materials are provided to support the lessons:

• Working material (copy templates) with information about the composer, the work, instruments, forms and genres, stylistic classifications and more.
• access possibilities ranging from playful forms of learning to differentiated listening tasks
• 31 audio files on an enclosed CD
