Music for everyone: New wind instruments class starts in Feldkirchen-Westerham!
The Feldkirchen-Westerham middle school is looking forward to the start of the new school year with great anticipation, as a new wind class for the fifth grade will now be launched here. This is a real reason for celebration, as the project is supported by the nationwide “StartJupiter” project is made possible. The school was chosen as one of only 20 institutions in Germany to benefit from this unique opportunity.
The beauty of this project? The middle school receives a class set of high-quality wind instruments worth around 20,000 euros for a whole year - free of charge! This allows students to immerse themselves in the exciting world of brass music and discover their musical talent. But that's not all: the aim of the cooperation between the school, the music school and the community is to give all children access to music so that the fun of making music is not lost for one or another student.
Importance of inclusion
The concept of the wind class is not just limited to instrumental lessons. Studies show that this form of class music also has an inclusive dimension. According to the German brass youth The wind class has the highest inclusion rate with 42.2 percent of students with special needs. This means that not only is music played, but social skills and a positive classroom atmosphere are also promoted. Experience from past projects has shown that disruptions in teaching hardly differ between inclusive and non-inclusive classes. So it's obvious that wind music classes could offer numerous benefits.
The duration of the wind class project at the Feldkirchen-Westerham middle school is two years. After this period, schools have the opportunity to take over the instruments at a reduced price. This could help many more generations to experience the joy of making music.
A look into the future
With this step, Feldkirchen-Westerham is taking an important path towards a diverse, inclusive and musical school education. The project is also an example of how, through commitment and cooperation, different institutions can work together to offer children a better education. It will be exciting to see which talents will be discovered in the coming school years.

One thing is definitely certain: at the Feldkirchen-Westerham middle school, the sound of wind instruments will soon echo through the hallways and give the students unforgettable musical experiences.
