The club's instruction will build fundamental competencies in the learner, reinforce music-theoretical knowledge, and help them navigate pre-professional choices.

Musical education provides the student with artistic upbringing, multi-functional thinking, taste, and ensures contact with high cultural values. During their studies, students will get acquainted with the structure of the guitar as a plucked string instrument, the history of performance art, classical and modern music, and will acquire performance skills.

FORMS OF INSTRUCTION

Instruction is carried out through a combination of theoretical and practical classes. Since the club may include students admitted at different times, an individual approach will be provided to each student, taking into account their capabilities, interests, and abilities. Individual lessons make it possible to form ensembles and groups. During the course of study, visits to concert halls and meetings with specialists and musicians in the field of vocal and instrumental art will be organized for the purpose of professional experience exchange and acquiring new knowledge. Open classes, reporting concerts, and online listening sessions will be conducted.
