Jugend musiziert is a music contest holding for children and adolescents in Germany.

Jugend musiziert in Germany

In Germany, the nationwide competition refers to young adults up to 20 years old and for singing even up to an age of 27. It serves both the promotion of the laity music as well as the promotion of young people with professional musical ambitions. The participants should therefore not be in a musical training (fulltime) or professional practice. Many well-known musicians performed there as prize-winners the first time to a wider audience. Moreover, the success at the competition often is a benchmark for the quality of schools and music lessons. The number of participants in the regional competition from an institution is a clear indication of their commitment and the associated motivation.

The competition is divided into three stages: First stage is at regional level, second is the federal level for those who passed the first stage. Those passing federal level will compete at national level. The instrument categories change from solo participation to ensemble each year. In 1993, singing was added to the originally pure instrumental competition. Currently, the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony-Anhalt, Schleswig-Holstein and Berlin are having a pilot phase for the Pop Music category with the tools guitar pop, pop-bass, drums and pop singing in Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia has also the category DJ.

The participants play music from different epochs. The length of the presentation depends on the age and lasts from 6 to 20 minutes.

In 2005,"Jugend musiziert” had nationwide over 20,000 participants in 148 domestic regional competitions and 30 German schools abroad. About 6,500 of them were forwarded to the federal competitions and nearly 2,000 first prize-winners attended at the National Competition. The regional competitions usually take place in the first months of a year.

The competition is founded in 1963 under the sponsorship of the German Musikrat (German Music Board) and the patronage of the President of Germany.
