The Young ClassX MusikMobile Music Education Shuttle Service

The Young ClassX MusicMobile is a bus that picks up children and teenagers from their schools in Dresden and the surrounding area and takes them to one of the numerous cultural institutions in and around Dresden (e.g., Dresden Philharmonic, University of Music, Semperoper Dresden, Dresden State Operetta, Silbermann House Freiberg). The aim is to provide them with their first experiences with music.

The entire program is free for participating schools and is organized by the project coordination team based at the Dresden University of Music. Even during the journey on the MusicMobile, the class is provided with exciting facts by dedicated MusicMobile educators and given a professional, engaging, and diverse introduction to the upcoming event. These educators are trained for their roles in the "Seminar Musikvermittlung: Einführung in die Musikvermittlung" at the Carl Maria von Weber University of Music. Thus, the MusicMobile offers students at the university a valuable opportunity.

The MusicMobile has been operating successfully in Hamburg since 2010, in Karlsruhe since 2015, and launched in Dresden in 2018. It is part of the music promotion program The Young ClassX, which was founded in 2008 on the initiative of the Otto Group and the ensemble Salut Salon and was awarded the OPUS Klassik for promoting young talent in autumn 2022.

The Dresden MusicMobile currently collaborates with 74 schools, and that number is growing. The classes and teachers who have participated so far have given many enthusiastic reviews.

Here are the testimonials from a primary school class in Meissen who attended a rehearsal of the Kreuzchor (Dresden Boys' Choir) with the MusicMobile. (More information here) as well as from children at the Astrid Lindgren Primary School in Heidenau, who describe their experiences at the C. Bechstein Center Dresden (formerly the Dresden Piano Salon, report here).
