University’s presentation

The Mannheim University of Music and Performing Arts dates back to the Academie de Danse, founded in 1762 and the private Tonschule (Sound school), founded in 1776 at the court of Charles Theordore, Elector of Bavaria. Later they were named Mannheimer Konservatorium and Städtische Hochschule für Musik und Theater. In 1971 the Heidelberger Konservatorium, founded in 1894, was included in a combined Hochschule with university status. After the new building was completed in 1999, all departments were finally moved to Mannheim.

Clarifications about the courses

Regarding your single lessons, please get in touch with your professor at the Musikhochschule. You can find all the contact information on our website at: http://www.muho-mannheim.de/personal/lehrkraefte.htm Orchestral Studies are usually also taught by your main teacher; Chamber Music or Ensemble need to be arranged either by your teacher or by one of their colleagues. Group lessons like Theory or Ear Training should be easier; normally you can just come to the lessons and sit in. Additional single lessons cannot be guaranteed; we will have to speak about it first.

Exchange students are welcome to attend all lectures and seminars. However, it should be noted that knowledge of German (B1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) is required for group lessons. For classes such as orchestra, chamber music, choir and one-to-one teaching the language of instruction can be English.
