The training is organized in the form of a private lesson in which the teacher’s personality, teaching methods and instrumental presentation are for example for a prospective student candidate.
Under the semester 8 of the main subject work, in the instrumental play of the instrumental play, the emphasis on consciousness, the theoretical background and the education of the entire self-education is of the utmost importance for the student’s preparation for the teaching career. The task of the training is to guide the student to the full development of his artistic abilities.

Proper breathing (support, constant air column)  proper ventilation, venting (throat opening, large oral cavity)  sound start (proper position of tongue)  good hand and posture (lack of which can make the instrumental therapy cramped), all these functions are individually tailored, is decisive for the professional future of teachers. Students should be drawn to the context of the basic functions and to coordinate them. Regular sounding and scaling are best suited to practicing these, which can significantly increase the security of instrument management. Synchronizing mechanisms and achieving secure intonation by scale exercises is the primary consideration.

By performing various types of ethereal materials of sufficient difficulty, the professional development of technical elements is the main goal.
