Mid-term and final exams
The school runs on a trimestrial system, therefore
mid-term and final exams take place every five to six
weeks. There are three trimesters in the school year.
Mid-term and final projects
For writing courses, mid-term or final projects can
replace or be in addition to an exam, they are graded as
such.
Club dates and concerts (second cycle)
Student concerts held at the end of each trimester,
judged and graded by a jury of faculty members.
Indispensable training for students performing before
live audiences. These concerts make up part of
many high points of student life at the school. Both
performing, and as part of the listening public, the
student should consider these concerts as essential
training for the professional musician. Watching and
listening to each live performance the student is
brought into contact with a personal and stylistic
approach to his own instrument as well as to the
interaction of all the other instrumentalists.
Instrumental exams
Sight-reading exams are held at mid-trimester and at the
end of each trimester. Improvisation exams are held
before a jury at the end of each trimester.
Grade reports
All grades and corrections are communicated to the
student after each exam or project. All students receive
an official grade report at the end of the each
trimester with a detailed attendance summary (excessive
absence or tardiness can be cause for withdrawal).
