Prof. Dr. phil. Anna Unger-Rudroff studied music and primary school education at the University of Leipzig and earned her doctorate in music education at the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy University of Music and Theatre in Leipzig with a doctoral scholarship from the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. After completing her preparatory service for teaching at primary schools, she worked as a music teacher and lecturer in music education at the MHL. In 2020/21, she represented the professorship for music and its didactics at the Karlsruhe University of Education. She contributed her experience in school and university teaching to the content design and conception of the new degree programmes for primary school teaching at the MHL, where she was appointed professor of music education and didactics in primary schools on 1 August 2025. Main areas of work: Her research interests focus in particular on the connection between music-related movements and musical concept formation in primary school children. Inspired by her work with primary school children, she also deals with the phenomenon of attention in music listening processes, inclusive and language-sensitive music didactics, and composition pedagogy. She is also particularly interested in questions that form connections to related disciplines, such as philosophy and educational science.
