Admission to the Musikgymnasium
Admission to our school will be granted to students who have successfully finished their primary school education and meet the requirements for secondary education aiming for A-Levels.
On the musical side, students have to pass the school's entry requirements, showing that they have already learnt to play their instrument(s) successfully. The language of instruction is German.The entrance requirement consists of three parts:
1. Instrumental performance (all orchestral instruments, piano, harpsichord, recorder, organ, accordion or guitar)
2. Individual assessment on general musical qualities, including musical theory and musical sense of hearing
3. Interview on family and school
During the musical aptitude test the students are expected to perform a programme lasting about 15 minutes. The programme should include two pieces, each piece should be different in character, or belong to a different epoch. There is also a technical test. The technical test comprises tone scales, triads, harmonies in different modes (kinds of articulation) and possibly an etude. Assessing the student’s general musical talent in this way allows the admission board to identify whether the student can emulate the means of forming, singing and recognizing intervals and triads. The aptitude test also challenges the student’s theoretical knowledge. A concluding interview then offers the applicant the chance to ask questions and the admission board to win an overall impression of the student.
Applications for the next school year are feasible from January until March. Requests during the school year are possible. The admission tests for the school year 2025/2026 take place on March 07, 2025.
