HOW TO SING PROFESSIONALLY WITH CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS.
CORE COMPETENCES OF CHILDREN´S AND YOUTH CHOIR DIRECTORS
Izvirni znanstveni èlanek / Original Research Paper
Abstract
Since the beginning of the 21st century, a series of new singing initiatives was registered throughout
German speaking countries. This development caused an increase of special training programs as
well as master programs for children´s and youth choir directors. In relation to that, the question
arose which competences children´s and youth choir directors need for their work with children and
adolescents. This article outlines a competence model with the aim of dealing with this question.
The model is based on two foundations: first, the competences listed in recent handbooks for singing
with children and adolescents, and, second, the competences found in the literature on teacher
education and music pedagogy.
Keywords: children´s and youth choir director, professionalisation, competences

Kljuène kompetence zborovodij za strokovno vodenje otroških in mladinskih pevskih zborov
Od zaèetka 21. stoletja po nemško govoreèih de elah opa amo vse veè zanimanja za petje.
Posledièno se pojavlja vse veè izobra evalnih programov, med njimi tudi magistrski program za
zborovodjo otroških in mladinskih pevskih zborov. V povezavi s tem se postavlja vprašanje, katere
kompetence so pomembne za vodenje otroških in mladinskih pevskih zborov. V èlanku bomo
predstavili kompetenèni model, ki ponuja odgovor. Osnovan je na dveh temeljih: obsega
kompetence, ki so navedene v aktualnih uèbenikih za otroško in mladinsko petje, ter kompetence iz
literature o izobra evanju uèiteljev in glasbeni pedagogiki.
Kljuène besede: vodenje otroških in mladinskih pevskih zborov, profesionalizacija, kompetence
Preliminary note
This article is based on the results obtained as part of the dissertation study on the
professionalisation of children´s and youth choir directors (Schaumberger 2018), which
primarily refers to German-language basic texts and models. Since the terms used in these
texts and models are mostly written in German, they have been translated into English by
the author. This should enable the possibility of a cross-national and language-wide
discussion on central competences of children´s and youth choir directors.
Introduction
The popularity of singing, especially singing with children and adolescents, is
characterized by constant ups and downs through the centuries both in terms of the amount
