Lessons relating to an ensemble performance feature substantial opportunities for nurturing the ability to collaborate with other musicians, through participation in duets, chamber music, and piano performances, within the framework of orchestral music. The soloist selection audition “Evening of Piano Concerto”, held each year, as well as the Selected Musician Concert, performed during the Music Festival, along with the Ensemble Competition, Concert Practical Training Seminar Concert and the like, offers a lot of opportunities for students to perform and nurture their capabilities. Overseas training trips to Vienna and the like are also available.
