Course module description
Individual Instrumental lessons
This will be a core module of your course. You will be regularly taught and supervised by one of our excellent teachers who will make sure you progress faster than you ever had before.
Our lessons strongly emphasize the technical, interpretational and historical content of a performance. Some elements of the history of music, composition and improvisation are included. Effective performance psychology elements are implemented as a part of curriculum in order to enable students to effectively deliver the performances in high-pressure circumstances. Advanced learning strategies from top-level industry professionals will ensure the excellent progress and efficiency.
All our teachers have master’s degrees from renowned conservatoires in UK and Europe. Being active performers themselves they successfully bring their performance experience into the teaching environment enabling students to fully develop their potential.
