Your path, your training

Your passion for music is stronger than any other career aspiration. Do you have talent and are you ready to leave your comfort zone?

Then you’ve come to the right place. At the Hamburg School of Music, your passion becomes your profession. We will help you develop your artistic personality in a challenging and supportive environment. Renowned lecturers will provide you with individual support, become your mentor and help you set the right course for your professional future.

For over 25 years, the professional musicians of tomorrow have been trained in the heart of Hamburg’s musical centre. And the graduates of the school, as it is known, have not only shaped the musical identity of this city for many years. HSM students and graduates can be found everywhere. They perform their songs in clubs and arenas across the country, write music for films, theatre, TV series and video games, and teach in music schools, general education schools and universities.

HSM not only stands out for its many years of experience, but also for one thing in particular: it cares about YOU. One-to-one tuition, individual support, supervision and advice are an integral part of the school and show who is at the centre of it all: YOU!

The lecturers and guest lecturers, fellow students, graduates and staff have a worldwide network and welcome YOU into their midst! Once you’ve joined the School family, you won’t be leaving any time soon! Above all, the School’s network offers you the opportunity to make the right contacts during your training, to gain experience on stage, to build up your own network in order to get your desired engagements and jobs later as a professional musician.
