In addition to the music schools organised in the VdM, there are numerous other music schools and institutions where music is taught which differ vastly as to their conceptional focus, the number of courses they offer, the number of teaching staff they employ and the bodies that run them. They include music schools that are part of the National Association of German Private Schools of Music, Art Colleges that also teach music, specialised training institutes (i.e. for jazz, rock and pop, for individual instruments or groups of instruments) or education establishments that are closely linked to companies in the music industry. The establishments listed here are only a selection, because lack of data sources makes comprehensive researching impractical and a multiplicity of designations and different organisational forms hinders systematic coverage. Also not documented are lessons given by private music teachers, who are very important for instrumental and vocal training, and the teaching work carried out by instrumental and vocal amateur music groups and the music-related activities of adult education centres. The areas not listed here are included in the associations contained in the data base (see under Systematic Search, particularly the items “Amateur Music” and “Music Education and Professional Training”).
