Already during your apprenticeship you get the opportunity to show your music on the city’s stages!

WMA information and foundation
The tough music scene of tomorrow needs fresh blood and well-trained musicians who not only have a perfect command of their instruments, but also of the business: That is why the Wacken Open Air, in cooperation with the Hamburg School Of Music and the West Coast University of Applied Sciences, calls the Wacken Metal Academy into life. The Wacken Metal Academy will offer rock musicians a state-recognized training opportunity with a focus on heavy metal.
Starting 2020, instrumentalists and singers from the world of rock & metal can train at the Hamburg School Of Music as part of the Wacken Metal Academy and be provided with the knowledge they need to work professionally. This was announced by the organizers Holger Hübner and Thomas Jensen, Silke Homann-Vorderbrück, Helge Zumdieck and Robert Klawonn for the Hamburg School Of Music as well as Thomas Haack and Frank Simoneit from the West Coast University of Applied Sciences at this year’s anniversary edition of Wacken Open Air at a press conference.
From October 1st, 2020, Hard Rock & Heavy Metal will be included in the curriculum for state-recognized training.
