Assoz. Prof. for Elemental Music and Dance Education / Movement Education⋅Elemental Music & Dance Education – Orff Institute

Erik Esterbauer is an associate professor in the field of elemental music and dance education with a focus on inclusion and diversity. After many years of working as a clinical psychologist, research assistant, and music educator, his focus is now on research, specifically on inclusive education, music and dance in diversity contexts, as well as psychological and artistic issues in the field of music and movement education.

Erik Esterbauer (*1969) studied psychology at the Universities of Salzburg and Vienna with further specialist training as a clinical, health and neuropsychologist. At the same time, he completed studies in music theory and composition at the Vienna Conservatory (now the Music and Art Private University of the City of Vienna). He did his doctorate in natural sciences (psychology) at the University of Salzburg with an investigation into the connection between stress management and physiological risk factors for stroke, for which he received a research award from the Austrian Social Forum. In 2009 he expanded his artistic and pedagogical skills by completing a master's degree in elemental music and movement pedagogy at the Orff Institute of the Mozarteum University in Salzburg.
 
Erik Esterbauer worked for 20 years as a clinical psychologist at the Center for Socially Integrative Development and Learning Support (Zentrum ELF) in Salzburg and as a clinical psychologist and assistant to the head of the department in the "Outpatient Psychosocial Rehabilitation" department at the Mobile Aid Service GmbH, Salzburg (now Volkshilfe Salzburg ). He also worked as a clinical psychologist and research assistant with a focus on neuropsychology at the Christian Doppler Clinic in Salzburg.

In 2016, he began working as a university assistant (post-doc) at the Department of Music Education. From 2017 to 2023, he was an assistant professor in the Department of Music and Dance in Inclusion and Diversity (MTID) at the Department of Elementary Music and Dance Education - Orff Institute. In 2023, he habilitated with an observation method for assessing the quality of relationships in inclusive music and dance lessons (EBQ-P instrument) and qualified as Associate Professor of Elementary Music and Dance/Movement Pedagogy. His teaching and research activities focus on processes of inclusion and diversity in the context of music and dance and other artistic disciplines as well as additional areas such as psychology, transdisciplinarity and new music.
