The Georg Philipp Telemann Conservatory is currently the largest music school in the state of Saxony-Anhalt with almost 2,900 students and over 100 teachers . In addition to pedagogical and artistic work, the training concept also includes the continuous development of pedagogical models and model solutions. The promotion of "classical" musical training is just as natural as the sustainable promotion of "modern" music and jazz, rock and pop music. The conservatory is named after the composer Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767), who was born in Magdeburg .
history
The history of the conservatory began on January 4, 1954 with the establishment of the "Volksmusikschule Magdeburg". In this municipal facility, 23 teachers initially gave instrument lessons in ten different subjects. A great need for musical education quickly became clear, because after just two years the initial number of students increased fivefold and rose to 524 in September 1955.
From September 1957, the first rooms were moved into at Hegelstrasse 2, where a large part of the lessons were to take place until 2000. As part of the third Telemann festival on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the death of the Magdeburg-born composer, the “Magdeburg Folk Music School” was finally renamed “Georg-Philipp-Telemann-Music School” on June 25, 1967. Another renaming took place in 1976 with the conversion to the "district music school". The music teacher and composer Günter Bust headed the facility from 1967 to 1995 .
After the fall of the Wall, the number of students rose rapidly and doubled in a short time. On November 27, 1990, the music school joined the Association of German Music Schools . The following year they called themselves again "Georg-Philipp-Telemann-Musikschule". Furthermore, the Friends of the Music School was founded on March 11, 1991, which provided financial support for various music school events in the years to come.
A precarious spatial situation arose due to the increasing number of students. In 1998 the city council therefore decided by a clear majority to build a new building on Breite Weg. The key to the five-story rotunda was ceremoniously handed over on September 8, 2000. At the same time, the music school received the status of a conservatory.
In May 2006 the Jazz-Rock-Pop department also moved. The renovated building on Thiemplatz was named Thiem20 - "House for Young Art" and has since been used by the students and the 16 teachers of the department together with the youth art school of the Magdeburg municipal puppet theater .
