    Actually, this music professor is Germany’s Professor of the Year and he’s one of four in total. Also there aren’t 250 music colleges in Germany but 24.

    there are far less than 250 Musikhochschulen in Germany: about 30, depending on your definition.

    it is awarded by a foundation which belongs to a campus magazine that is distributed for free and financed through ads.
