In addition, your soloist studies include training in artistic development and entrepreneurship.
Schedule
Your schedule will vary from week to week throughout the year. Some subjects are only available for limited periods during the year, while other subjects are available throughout the year. In addition to scheduled classes, you should plan to set aside time for practicing and unscheduled study activities such as masterclasses, workshops and concerts. When you don't have scheduled classes, you can reserve available rooms for practicing alone or with other students.
Below is an example of what a schedule might look like in a random week during the year.
