Syllabus

Communication takes place in an open atmosphere, all participants are aware of the fact of the exact immeasurability of artistic disciplines. The constant effort of the teacher is to bring closer and to get to know the essential components (markers) of musical notation and the possibilities of creative work with them at all stages of development.

This is followed by a discussion of the views on the musical content of the reproduced compositions and the appropriate choice of technical means for its realization. In addition to this, it is necessary to keep in mind the didactic component of the whole process, clarifying the principles of forming the personality of the young performer and teacher, distinguishing the professional aspect of performance from the personal input (in addition to their mutual interaction). An important element is also getting acquainted with different types of performers with an emphasis on individual approach to individual pupils in pedagogical practice.

For the education of future teachers, the performing-pedagogical seminar is of irreplaceable importance.
