Life

Born in Munich, Merkt first studied opera singing and later music for the teaching profession at grammar schools at the State University of Music and Performing Arts Munich. After several years of teaching at grammar schools in the Ruhr area, she became a research assistant to her future doctoral supervisor Werner Probst at the Pädagogische Hochschule Ruhr  [ de ] in 1978. In 1983, she obtained her doctorate with the dissertation Deutsch-türkischer Musikunterricht in der Bundesrepublik. Ein Situationsbericht. In the context of this work, she designed the so-called interface approach for intercultural music education, [1] [2] which Wolfgang Martin Stroh further developed into the Extended Interface Approach. [3]

From 1979 to 1989, Merkt was an academic councillor at the University of Dortmund in the field of music education for disabled people. From 1989 to 1991, she was a professor in the subject of media education - with a focus on music in social education - at the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts, and from 1991 to 2014, she was a professor in music education and music therapy in education and rehabilitation with disabilities at the Technical University of Dortmund. In the years 2004 to 2007 and 2012 to 2014, she was dean of the Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences.

Merkt is still working today (as of March 2021)[ citation needed ] in education and training in the areas of intercultural and inclusive music education and adult music education for people with disabilities.
