"From sign to sound" is a research project aimed to investigate some peculiar features of the musical reading with reference to instrumental performance. Its purpose is to extend the present knowledge about cognitive, musical, and pedagogical aspects of the subject, pointing out problematic issues and solutions significant for the young musicians' music performance education. The main study profile, which differentiates it from very few existing international studies on the subject, arises from the particular situation of the Latin countries (to which some other Latin American countries must be added) that adopted, starting from XIX century, the syllabic designation of notes, abandoning the alphabetic one. The aim of the research was to clarify a) the extent to which the outlined situation is widespread in Italian and European instrumental teaching, b) what are the prevailing opinions about it, and c) whether different perspectives can be found based on instrumental families or educational schools. "Dal segno al suono" è un progetto di ricerca che indaga alcuni aspetti peculiari della lettura musicale riferiti specificamente all'esecuzione strumentale. Il suo scopo è ampliare le attuali conoscenze sugli aspetti cognitivi, musicali e pedagogici in materia, evidenziando problematiche e soluzioni significative per l'educazione all'esecuzione musicale dei giovani musicisti. Il profilo peculiare di questo studio, che lo differenzia da pochissimi studi internazionali esistenti sull'argomento, nasce dalla particolare situazione dei paesi latini (a cui vanno aggiunti alcuni paesi latinoamericani) che adottarono, a partire dal XIX secolo, la nominazione sillabica delle note, abbandonando quella alfabetica. Lo scopo della ricerca è stato quello di chiarire a) in che misura questa situazione si trova nella didattica strumentale italiana ed europea, b) quali sono le opinioni prevalenti in merito, e c) se si possono rintracciare prospettive diverse sulla base di famiglie strumentali o scuole pedagogiche differenti.

The research project Recognizing, Acknowledging and Designing Music Learning Worlds studied the educational practices and the music education principles of music school teachers in Austria. The project was designed as a qualitative comparative study, based on the Grounded Theory method, and using formal/informal (music) learning as a sensitizing concept. The resulting grounded theory defines the work of teachers in music schools as the constant process of recognizing, acknowledging and designing music learning worlds. Die Studie Musiklernwelten erkennen und gestalten untersuchte die musikalischen Vermittlungspraktiken und die musikpädagogischen Grundsätze von Musikschullehrkräften in Österreich. Die Untersuchung wurde als qualitative Vergleichsstudie nach der Grounded-Theory-Methodologie angelegt und verwendete das formale/informelle (Musik-)Lernen als sensibilisierendes Konzept. Auf dieser Basis wurde eine gegenstandsverankerte Theorie entwickelt, die die Musikschularbeit als das Erkennen und das (Mit-)Gestalten von Musiklernwelten definiert.
