Establishing and developing the profile of an ensemble is one of the most demanding and, at the same time, most appealing challenges in artistic development. Many globally successful ensembles were formed during their studies, laying the foundation for an international chamber music career. However, existing study programmes alone can only provide limited incentives and framework conditions for this. The ensemble scholarship is the answer to this: convincing project proposals receive financial support for a period of one year to realise specific artistic projects.

Starting in autumn 2026, the Mozarteum University will offer new teacher training programmes in music and instrumental music. Andreas Bernhofer, professor of music education, provides an overview of the new content, perspectives and opportunities for students.

Alumnus Rupert Pföß has been working as a music teacher at Musikum Salzburg since 1996 and has been head of the folk music and harmonica department since 2012. He is also an extended board member of the Salzburger Volksliedwerk. His busy seminar and jury activities at various music weeks and music competitions enrich his everyday life as a musician time and again. 

In October 2025, the new ‘Music Multis: Next Generation’ funding programme will start at the Mozarteum University. This programme, which is unique in Austria to date, prepares young talents specifically for music education studies.
