The goal of the workshop was to show some possibilities to integrate the cognitive approach of E.Gordon's Music Learning Theory within the pedagogical concept of the Orff-Schulwerk.
Basics: speech, music and movement as a unit - Thinking music, producing music: focus on the creative musical mind - Enhancing audiation through using tonal and rhythm patterns in coordination with dancing, singing, chanting and playing – Music instruments as an extension of the inner audiation instrument – From experience to knowledge: developmental stages of cognitive skills and music literacy - Aside and beyond cognitive processes in music learning: emotion, motivation, interpersonal relationships, integration with other arts

The workshop has been illustrated in the book "In Dialogue" about the Symposium published by Schott.
