Talent promotion in the Canton of Lucerne (TMLU)

The musical talent promotion of the Canton of Lucerne (TMLU) supports talented young musicians in their personal musical development. The TMLU is a recognised provider of the federal “Junge Talente Musik” scheme and closely collaborates with music schools in the region as well as the Lucerne School of Music and its Pre-College. 

What we offer

Some of the features that set our courses apart:

  • Instruction in the main subject at the relevant music school
  • Holistic supplementary programme around “understanding music”, “music practice and performance”, “music and health”, and “music and the body”.
  • Ample opportunity to perform on stage
  • Ensembles and workshops
  • Access to renowned teachers

What to expect

The primary aim of the talent promotion scheme is not to prepare young people for a degree programme in Music. Its purpose is to help talented young musicians to live their passion for music at a high level. Of course, some students participating in the scheme go on to study Music. It is a great way to get ready for Pre-College.
