Learning methods and activities
Principal instrument: individual instruction with satisfactory participation in compulsory instruction. To be able to take the final exam, the student must attend a minimum of 80% of the lectures.
Because of overlap due to comparable learning goals, students can only register once for the individual levels of instruction within the Department of Music’s principal instrument courses.

Further on evaluation
Compulsory activities must be approved before the assessment. The improvisation part of the course concludes with a presentation in a group in the last practice lesson.
The course is assessed with a practical exam in principal instrument, with exam time being approximately 10 minutes.
If the student fails to attend principal instrument lectures after the department's appointment of a principal instrument teacher, the student will lose the right to take the final examination.
If the course is not passed, the student must retake the full assessment.
