This talent is understood as unique and therefore is handled during studies to develop into its individualized form. The performance views of the student are compared with those of the professors. If the student does not stray in their views from the foundations then their ideas are left to them. In the opposite case, that idea is worked on so that diversion is brought in line with principles. Part of the instruction is intensive work stage performance, mostly the psychological aspect. A knowledge of the psychology of stage performance is necessary.
