This decision must be supported by a knowledge of dramaturgy, thought which links the entire evening. This course gives the student the opportunity to select their own concept. Similarly in the thesis, the students interest in some of the topics is reflected. The guides the student to their independent original path awaiting them after leaving school. The student is prepare for an independent career. Their viewpionts are compared to those of the professor and directed to the proper or potential area. This course works with the student as a prominent musician who has no evident issues in playing. They have a high technique level, tone quality, intonation and peformance skills.
