Within the one-semester course, it is possible to request a reduced offer containing only the teaching of the main field (or with a piano accompaniment), in this case the price is based on a set hourly rate.
In the case of a course for less than 1 semester, it is possible to study only the main field (with possible piano accompaniment; without other, additional subjects) for 2 hours per week, or in another range (after prior agreement with the educator). For this shorter form of studies, it is not necessary to start the studies on the beginning of the semester according to the academic year.
Attendees do not take progress exams and do not obtain a diploma; they only receive a certificate of completion of a lifelong learning course.
