Admission Examination
Admission to the Advanced Viola Courses is subject to passing the entrance examination, which is held through an audition.
The audition programme must include a free-choice programme lasting a minimum of 30 minutes, comprising two works from different periods and styles, including the first movement of a Classical concerto. The Examination Committee reserves the right to request the performance of the entire audition programme or only part of it.
Lessons and Attendance
The course is structured indicatively into seven teaching sessions distributed throughout the academic year, with approximately two sessions per month, mainly held during weekends.
The educational activities will take place from October to September of the following year, excluding the months of July and August, according to the lesson schedule that will be communicated to students at the beginning of each academic year.
The programme includes modules dedicated to instrumental technique, repertoire study, chamber music with piano, and specific preparation for competitions and auditions.
Progression to the following year of study requires passing the annual passage examination, which consists of the performance of a programme agreed upon with the teacher.

STRING QUARTET COURSE
The String Quartet course is open to all quartets, already formed and those in the process of being formed. Individual registrations are also allowed. For each quartet, the syllabus for the Admission Examination includes the performance of two movements of contrasting style and era. Individual entries must perform two pieces of different character.
Lessons and Attendance
The Course consists of approximately 2 meetings per month. In exceptional cases due to artistic-professional reasons, lessons may be scheduled differently.
Each quartet deemed eligible after the entrance exam will establish the personal schedule of lessons directly with the teacher.
