Save the date! Study Information Day on the 19th November 2025!

Once a year, on the Day of Prayer and Repentance, we invite pupils from grade 11 onwards to get to know the Trossingen State University of Music and find out about studying music and the requirements for doing so as part of the state-wide study information day. It should be possible to be released from school lessons to take part in the study information day without any problems.

And on Wednesday, November 19th it's time again! - You are all warmly invited!

By the way – making contact with teachers individually…

…is certainly always possible and welcome apart from the Study Information Day!
