This state-approved vocational school for popular music is located right in St Pauli in the former WW2 bunker at Feldstrasse. The Hamburg School of Music is the ideal place for passionate, talented music enthusiasts.

At the Hamburg School of Music, students can explore the diversity of styles as part of a customised, practice-oriented 2-year training programme. Students can systematically work on their individual profile as an artist and are guided in preparing for a professional music career. Renowned lecturers and an extensive network support students on their pathway. Graduates can benefit from plenty of opportunities and career prospects.

Musicians who trained here can perform at live shows or in the studio, work on their own projects, or produce or compose for established artists – e.g. for television and film productions, for one of Hamburg’s many stages, or even abroad. At the Hamburg School of Music, passion turns into profession.

For music lovers with less time on their hands, the school offers a number of shorter courses, ranging from intensive classes to Summer Academy programmes.
