The course focuses on the following areas:

• Playing in chamber music groups under supervision. The groups are existing formations, or the course leader divides free participants into new chamber music groups.
• Practicing prepared pieces (particularly sonatas) with piano accompaniment.
• Playing together in a string ensemble. You will receive the grades for this in advance for preparation.
• One-to-one lessons on one or more of the works you have brought with you to clarify questions about style, interpretation, attitude, relaxed playing and technical exercises.
