Main instrument III, Western classical music

Students play solo and chamber music repertoire for advanced technical and instrumental skills. Parts of the repertoire are performed in in-house concerts. Students also give accounts of methods and learning processes in rehearsing and performing music and critically reflect on different approaches to performing music.
