The course guides future artists to independence, the fruition of one's ideas and defense of one's thoughts. The final bachelor's course, this is for the direction of the bachelor's graduation concert and finalizing of the bachelor's thesis to its final form. Etudes are selected to allow the study of the selected bachelor's repertoire. Mostly this covers the most demanding - Peters, Stefanovsky. In the technique and recital aspects maximum attention is devoted to execution and precision. Recital pieces correspond, again, to the repertoire of the graduation concert but attention is focused on some style and period compositions which have not been sufficiently practiced during study. Recital pieces - Filas, Mahler, Gregson, Zámčník.
