All around your studies

Not everyone can, likes or is allowed to practise without restrictions within their own four walls. Therefore, we provide our students with extra rooms at various locations.
Every person studying with us can reserve these rooms for three hours per day. Reservations are done online via our campus management system eOffice and is always possible 24 hours in advance.
Click here for eOffice
You can find a tutorial on the reservation system on our university’s Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact the »AG Raum« (working group on rooms) by e-mail (ag-raum@hmtm.de).

Please note the following points for all reservations:

• Please check your room reservations to make sure they are up to date.
• Reserve your classes early.
• Please release room reservations if you do not use them or if times change, and inform the colleagues responsible for this at the relevant locations of the university in good time.

• Copy card (for copiers of our university and the Studentenwerk)

In order to use your ID card, please validate it: Shortly before the validity date expires, ID cards can be extended at the devices set up for this purpose, the validation stations, if the requirements for this are met (e.g. successful re-registration). One validation station is located in the cloakroom at Arcisstraße 12 (ground floor), another in Gasteig HP8 (House G).

Our new learning platform for music has been online since February 2022: https://openmusic.academy/

The OMA offers openly accessible materials (Open Educational Resources) for all those interested in music. Here you will find, for example, exercises on ear training, tips for practical piano playing and tutorials on music theory, but also freely usable sound recordings for your projects. In addition, private virtual spaces allow you to accompany your music education online. The OMA team works in its own video studio – perhaps you would like to record a piece and be filmed professionally?

We warmly invite everyone to use the OMA for learning and content creation. Since access is not limited to our university, the platform also allows us to collaborate with other institutions. The project team around Prof. Dr. Ulrich Kaiser will be happy to advise you (see below for contact). The Open Music Academy is an internet service of the University of Music and Theatre, funded by the Foundation for Innovation in Higher Education.
