About

Singing lessons already played an important role when the Mozarteum was founded in 1841 - this has not changed until today. The professional practice for singers has changed considerably: In addition to excellent vocal and musical qualities, high expectations are also placed on performing skills. The study program prepares students for the many realities of life as a singer.
