The partner - the Federal Association for Music Education (BMU)

The Federal Association for Music Education (BMU) is a professional association for the promotion of music education, especially music teaching in all types, forms and levels of schools. It represents the interests of music teachers, trainers, university teachers, trainee teachers and student teachers.

The BMU supports musical life and musical-artistic work at schools, especially the work of music ensembles. It also promotes qualified and sufficient training for music teachers of all school types, forms and levels.

Since the beginning of the competition, the BMU (at that time still the Association of German School Musicians) has been a partner of the competition. The prize-winners of the competition perform a public prize-winners' concert at the Federal Congress on Music Education in September of the same year.
