I am professor of music education at the Dresden University of Music Carl Maria von Weber. After completing my doctorate in educational science at the University of Hamburg with a thesis on a theory of transformational processes of musical Bildung, I held professorships in music education and didactics in Leipzig and Weingarten, worked as a research assistant at the University of Cologne, and taught music and German at schools in Berlin, Leipzig, Mainz, and Offenbach. Before my PhD, I was a director and dramaturg for theatre and music performances, which continue to interest me in university teaching and educational contexts.

My research is at the intersection of music education/didactics, philosophy of education and/or philosophy of music, which is why I conduct research using theoretical or philosophical means, but also make empirical and historical contributions. Topics that I am currently working on in particular are the concept, object/content and quality criteria of music teaching, canons of music education, the didactics of popular music (with a focus on (digital) songwriting, hip hop, electronic music, …) as part of the COMeArts project & the Cologne HipHop Institute, and educational decisions (from ethical and other normative perspectives).
