General starting points
Interculturalmusiceducationisgroundedinthegeneralaimofinterculturaleducation(Fiorucci2008;Gobbo2004;Hrvatić2009;Mantovani2008;Nieto2004;Perotti1995;Piršl2007;Portera2007),andencompassesinterculturallifelonglearning.Inthiscontext,musicandmusiceducationarepowerfultoolsforthede-velopmentofinterculturalitywhenitcomestothefollowingareas:understanding,developingasensibilityfordifferences/otherness,communicationandcommuni-cationcompetence,andtheacquisitionofexperiencethroughinteractionwithvariousculturalgroups.Theintertwiningofmusicaldifferencesanddiversitiesisrootedintheknowledgeofandfeelingstowardsone‘sownmusicalandculturalidentity,anacknowledgementandknowledgeofothermusicalculturesthatdifferfrom“mine”and“ours”andarespectforthem,andonone‘sabilityformusicalandculturaldialogue.Musiceducationisdefinedasmulticulturalandinterculturaleducation(Disoteo2000).Theaimsandtasksofmusiceducationweremodifiedaccordingtotheneedsofthesocialstructureofanethnic/nationalcommunity,whichcorroboratestheclaimthatmusicwas(andis)perceivedasanimportantareainthedevelopment,functioning,andexistenceofacertainculture.

Interculturalmusiceducationencompassesthetraditionalregionalandna-tionalmusicofthedominantculture(i.e.,themajoritygroup),andthetraditionalmusicofotherethnicgroupsornationalminoritiesandofotherpeoples.Inthismanner,traditionalmusicbecomesaconstructofmusicpedagogyforintroducingpupilstoanunderstandingofandparticipationinmusicalandculturalvarietyanddiversity.InDisoteo’sstudyoninterculturalmusiceducation,musical identity isthecenterofattentionandhearticulatesitonfourlevels.Theseare:imprint,experience,value,andcompetence.AccordingtoDisoteo(2000),interculturalityispresentinaclassinwhichtwopupilswereborninthesametown,buthavedifferingaffiliationstotraditionalmusicandhavegrownupindifferingmusicalmatrices.Thepluralityofonemusicalidentitycanbe(andoftenis)presentbe-tweenteachersandpupils,andbetweenmembersofdifferentgenerations,ethnicgroups,orregion(ibid.).
