Music and Nature:
Will your musical educational productions supersede conventional education
at least in part?
Peter Hübner: The contents of conventional educational curricula
have indeed their abiding value at least in the area of natural sciences,
i.e. there where they can be objectively verified by scientific means.
Change in these scientifically ascertainable areas will only occur if new
significant discoveries are made somewhere in the world, and new logical conclusions
are drawn.
Nowadays such people usually receive the Nobel Prize.
Our work in the Micro Music Laboratories does not touch upon the development
of the contents of educational curricula, for we only concentrate on the function
of human thinking on which the successful exploitation of the contents of
the educational curricula is dependent, and so, in this respect, a supplement
will be made.
But, in my opinion, this supplement does not require any kind of co-ordination
by any kind of political side.
This is easily put. The countries which ignore these modern developments will, by international comparison, produce more and more unemployed people. And the countries which drive these modern developments forward will, by international comparison, become increasingly successful. Peter Hübner |
Music and Nature:
Well so how do you want to get your products onto the market
where nowadays education is usually only characterised by the learning of
the contents of the educational curricula and where, in addition, it is quite
often the case that the government has a complete monopoly on education?
Peter Hübner: I have to tell you, I have no intention of entering
the market and selling our educational products there. I am only interested
in research and development in this area, simply because it interests me
particularly since the past results of scientific studies in the field of
medicine have proven the enormous significance of harmonical information.
Now I, that is we, the members of staff in the Micro Music Laboratories, the
members of the international publishers AAR Edition and several other bodies
are interested in researching
and initiating developments of the performance potential of harmonical information
in the area of education right away from the hustle and bustle of public
and official education or the education market.
Music and Nature: Well but why are you talking publicly about
it then?
Peter Hübner: I can merely provoke thought and awareness of future
developments as I see them especially since these developments have
already started in part, obviously not everywhere, but here and there.
And even amongst the so-called civilised nations, there are both progressive
and extremely backward countries. Internationally, the thing is in a state
of flux and, as such, there will be results which then even the most stupid
of educational experts will hardly fail to recognise. For my part, no further
explanations are necessary here.
I have heard that an increasing number of education politicians in Germany are sending their children to be educated in countries where they have seen these developments I have mentioned getting into gear, in order to ensure that they have advantages in the future over the backward ones who remain here where it is the education politicians themselves who have failed to get these developments into gear.

Music and Nature:
Another question to finish with: In the field of education, what does a general
comparison between the achievements of the Micro Music Laboratories and those
of the experts in conventional education look like?
Peter Hübner: This is easily put. The countries which ignore these
modern developments will, by international comparison, produce more and more
unemployed people. And the countries which drive these modern developments
forward will, by international comparison, become increasingly successful.
Nowadays the contents of educational curricula no longer even guarantee that
the individual pupil or student gets a job. But in the modern industrial societies
of the world, able people are always being sought who have no problem helping
themselves to education / knowledge / information per computer.
If it misses out on these developments, a nation which is still right at the
top today might be right at the bottom tomorrow. And a nation which recognises
these modern education opportunities can get right from the bottom to the
top by purposefully exploiting them. I have heard that an
increasing number
of education politicians in Germany are sending their children to be educated
in countries where they have seen these developments I have mentioned getting
into gear, in order to ensure that they have advantages in the future over
the backward ones who remain here where it is the education
politicians themselves who have failed to get these developments into gear.
By the way, we have also found that the conventional style of education actually
hinders the training of the intellectual capabilities, because the strain
on the memory brought about by rote-learning actually reduces the functional
capability for thought.
The modern achievement-orientated style of education which I mentioned, which
makes use of the computer and its modern programs will, then, reduce the demands
placed on the memory.
Just as, by comparison, ice prevents the rivers flow, the contents of
the memory prevents the capacity for logical thought and, with it, the free
flow of thinking.
The success and the increase in achievement of modern computer-supported learning
is, then, coupled with the abolishment of the conventional education system
with its rote-learning. Every computer expert knows that an internal memory
or working storage that is filled with too much information actually delays
or blocks the processes of logical integration, and that one can considerably
increase the overall performance of the computer by reducing the volume of
data stored.
During the development of Medical Resonance Therapy Music, we already began
parallel research and development in the area of education.
Past medical research results provide a whole series of indicators that the
application of harmonical information is also effective in the aspect of education
I have mentioned, i.e. the performance of the thought function increases.
