Why it’s worth it

Not a formal internship — the real thing

Looking for a music internship in Munich (Musikpraktikum München) or a way into the music industry? Indie Munich isn’t a formal internship programme. It’s a real, working music community — and that’s exactly the point.

You get practical experience through real projects and events, your work is seen by real artists and audiences, and you leave with a portfolio and a network instead of a certificate.

  • Build your portfolio — photography, videography and production work you can actually show
  • Real projects — live events, recordings and content, not exercises
  • All levels welcome — learn from people in the scene at your own pace
  • Your network — get to know Munich’s independent music community
