Summary/Abstract: Joint spontaneous music making without notes is a frequently used method for music learning in school music education, especially in primary education. The guided work with sounds promotes contacts within the group as well as joint creative design - advantages that make group improvisation an attractive field of experience outside school as well. In the following text we present possibilities of concept design based on group improvisation. With the help of the music ensemble BlueScreen, an inclusive project of the Blauschimmel Atelier Oldenburg/Oldb., we provide insights into conception and rehearsals. In a current cooperation with HörTech gGmbH, a non-profit hearing research institute in Oldenburg, motion-controlled electronic musical instruments are being developed to supplement the ensemble’s musical instruments and thus expand the communication and expression possibilities of the group members. A short interview with the head of BlueScreen, as well as summarizing observations of the authoress complete the text.
