A challenging summer term at Robert Schumann Hochschule Düsseldorf is over now. After an intense period of designing classes and tutorials, online teaching, and examining with an unexpectedly high workload, I’m glad to have some less busy times ahead of me. This is the written music theory test I devised and assigned to my second-year students, covering music by female and male composers from France and Germany in equal parts. It’s so easy to enhance the repertoire canon and create a bit of diversity at least in teaching, even though this will not change anything in the classical music business. Yet I assume it is the will that matters.
