Educational organisation (text)

Group-oriented education

Prerequisite competencies (text)

The piano level is checked at the start of the lessons.

Preferably, the student has finished a piano preparatory training (Flemisch Parttime Art Education DKO 2nd grade) with notions of polyphonic, classical, romantic and/or 20th century literature, briefly approached from appropriate techniques.

If not, the student will at least have sufficient musical baggage from a training with another instrument, from which musical-historical and motoric notions of style were acquired.

A choral education as background is recommended.

Students who do not have the required starting competencies and are nevertheless admitted to B1 are recommended to enrol for piano in the DKO.
