For whom?

The young student program is aimed at particularly talented and highly motivated young people aged 13 and over who wish to complete a professional musical education at a high level parallel to school and prepare themselves specifically for later music studies.

For particularly well-developed talents (usually aged 16 and over), there is also the opportunity to switch to a more intensive program at the Andreas Franke Academy within this support structure. In addition, the Hamburg University of Music and Drama offers further places for young students; a later transfer to the Academy is possible if the student performs well.
