The bassoon is one of the instruments taught at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln. The University has successfully attracted internationally renowned soloists and educators, who have formed a balanced team that bestows all of its knowledge onto the students. The large number of successful graduates who have established themselves professionally after graduation or have won prizes at international competitions vouches for the high-caliber educational program that develops student skill. The drawing power that results is the reason why many highly-talented students apply for a spot in one of our programs.

On an artistic and personal level, our team of professors is perfectly balanced. This rapport benefits ensemble instruction for all instruments – students in the recently established wind academy even play alongside their instructors.

In no small way, the orchestra’s projects, productions by the Early and New Music departments, and choir and opera performances are a success thanks to the excellent work of our students.
