The course includes lectures and workshops on various aspects of music theory, orchestration, interpretation, rehearsal technique, and score study, with a focus on accordion repertoire and technique. Participants also have the opportunity to gain practical experience by conducting an accordion orchestra and receiving feedback from experienced instructors.
