A new perspective on using media in the classroom that started to rise in the past few years is immersive learning. This paper considers the learning success of children on the subject of organology and assesses the question, if a virtual environment on the tale “Peter and the Wolf” can support knowledge retention of primary school students relating to various instruments’ sound, appearance, hearing impression and groups. In a first pilot study for evaluating this educational virtual environment, eight children filled out a questionnaire before and after the immersive experience. The findings indicate that the environment on the topic of “Peter and the Wolf” could have a positive effect on knowledge retention for fundamental aspects of organology. These first findings for using virtual environments in Music Education encourage the further investigation of using immersive media for teaching and learning in the subject Music.
