About the studies
Places are filled in order of registration. Vocalists will be called in for a small audition and they will be notified about the time by email.
New students will be notified about their acceptance by email. In the event that we are not able to offer a place from the beginning of the autumn term, we will notify the applicant by email. Those applicants will also be automatically added to the waiting list and we will contact them whenever there are cancellations.
On acceptance, the student will receive a confirmation letter notifying of the place and time of the music lessons. The teacher will come meet the student in the school lobby or near the caretaker’s booth before the first lesson.
Please note that it is recommendable to consult your teacher before purchasing an instrument.

Playing in string orchestras and rhythm music bands, theoretical studies in music theory, studies in music technology and singing in the choir are considered group instruction.
