In 2016 he studied conducting in Bayreuth with GMD Stefan Fraas. During his time in Bayreuth he worked regularly with professional orchestras such as the "Vogtland Philharmonic" or the "Young Philharmonic Orchestra of Lower Saxony". In August 2020 he founded the "Junge Orchester Hannover" with which he made his debut in October 2020 in Hildesheim with the Requiem by Johannes Brahms. From 2020 to 2022 Hauptmann studied "Orchestral Conducting" as a scholarship holder at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. In July 2022 he graduated with honors.
