POSTGRADUATE COURSE IN ADVANCED PERFORMANCE GUITAR SOLO | GUITAR DUO This postgraduate course is aimed at getting students ready for competitive concert performance. The accompanying classes “Methodology of Concert Literature” and the seminar on interpretation prepare students to teach at a high professional level, for example in institutes of higher education. Because the accompanying classes are offered as block courses and the lessons in the artistic major subject are arranged individually, there is no necessity for students to live nearby. The examination is oriented towards the requirements of international competitions and consists of a recital following the 2nd and 4th semesters respectively, an orchestral test as a soloist following the 3rd semester, and a chamber music project (orchestral test and chamber music project do not apply to guitar duos).
