On-going participation in symphony and opera orchestra auditions.

Prerequisites and co-requisites:

Instrument skills at the level corresponding to the study year and student profile.

Recommended optional programme components:

Chamber literature in duets, trios and other combinations of wind, string, keyboard and percussion instruments.

Course contents:

This course focuses on the development of melody through innumerable pieces devoted to this. Various periods must be changed often so the course does not stagnate in one type. There is quite a bit of etude material (Rochut, Kopprasch, Bordogni, Ušák, Pederson). The recital literature is linked to an arrangement of significant melodic compositions (Saint-Saens, Weber). We supplement this with the most frequent literature which appears in the programs of domestic and foreign competitions (Jacob, David, Monaco).
