The majority of main subject courses include group classes as part of the curriculum, because it is often more efficient and practical to teach specific technical elements to a group of students with a similar level of development. Moreover, students benefit from observing how their peers approach difficulties they encounter themselves as well.
The subjects of the group lessons are specified in the content descriptions of the main subject modules.
Group lessons are taught by one or more instructors of the relevant main subject. In most cases, students will be introduced to teachers of their main subject other than their own instructor.

Group classes. Teachers may decide to give all or part of the lessons in a different format, for example as evenings where students perform for each other and which also involve other students (from other years and/or main subjects), after which the music performed is discussed.

Assessment by the main subject instructor(s) at the end of each semester.

Participation.

The student has completed this module if they are graded "satisfactory" at the end of the second semester.
Active participation.

At the end of both semesters. Assessment at the end of the autumn semester is formative and expressed in terms of satisfactory/unsatisfactory. It indicates a student's progress in this module. No ECs are awarded and there is no resit. Modules can only be absolved, and ECs awarded, after the end of the spring semester.
