The publication of the Schools@Concerts focuses on the perspectives of students, teachers and hosts within selected cooperation projects. Schools@Concerts uses the design of a multi-case study, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Data on students’ expectations, prerequisites and concert experiences, as well as goals and expectations of the music teachers and concert hosts were collected and compared. The data were complemented by group discussions of students after the concert. The study also includes concert experiences expressed by students and students’ drawings of concert situations while bearing in mind regional differences, including school curricula.

The book presents different approaches to cooperation of schools and concert hosts across Europe and compares and discusses the results. A clear added value of this comparative research project comes from the data triangulation in an international context.
