21 percent of the German population aged 6 and above make music in their leisure time - that is around 16.3 million people and around 2 million more than four years ago. The study ‘Amateur Music Making in Germany’ provides a differentiated overview of age groups, gender and social class-specific differences as well as access routes, challenges and the voluntary commitment of musicians.

The data are based on a population-representative survey conducted by the Institut für Demoskopie Allensbach (IfD) on behalf of the miz. The German Music Information Centre published the results in April 2025.

Expected to be available from May 2025.
