Course content
Read the vademecum of your specific department for detailed information about the learning activities.
The students prepare themselves to function professionally within an orchestra. To this end, they study relevant (the passages requested at various auditions) passages for their instrument from orchestral literature and frequently requested concertos or solo works at auditions in professional orchestras. Individual and group-oriented lessons and 3 workshops are given. A dummy audition is organized in which the students can participate voluntarily.
