5. How and when can I take part in a rehearsal of the orchestra and/or chamber ensemble?

In order to take part in rehearsals of the orchestra or chamber ensemble, you should master your instrument very well and start your program at the beginning of September. You can take part in a rehearsal of the orchestra or chamber ensemble directly when you arrive in Vienna. The director of the conservatory decides if your command of the instrument is sufficient to take part in the rehearsal on a regular basis.

6. Which are the requirements to attend your German and music programme?

The programme is specially focussed on people fond of music, who already master one instrument or devote themselves to singing.

7. I play a certain instrument/I am a singer. Does the Conservatory offer suitable tuition for me?

If you would like to use your stay in Vienna to work on your linguistic as well as your musical skills, we can recommend the ActiLingua course German and Music without qualification - both to lay music enthusiasts as well as to professionals with advanced musical training. The Conservatory offers highly qualified tuition for all common musical instruments as well as voice training. You will learn the name of your teacher on the first day at the Conservatory.

8. Do I have to be a professional musician in order to register for "German and Music"?

No, anybody interested in music (playing an instrument or devoted to singing) is welcome to profit from the high quality practical and theoretical lessons at the Vienna Conservatorium. In order to take part in rehearsals of the orchestra or chamber ensemble, you should master your instrument very well and start your programme at the beginning of September. You can take part in a rehearsal of the orchestra or chamber ensemble directly when you arrive in Vienna. The director of the conservatory decides if your command of the instrument is sufficient to take part in the rehearsal on a regular basis.

9. Where and when can I practise privately?

The Vienna Conservatorium offers facilities for practise at approx. EUR 2/hour. Please, enquire directly at the Conservatorium.

10. Can I rent / borrow an instrument?

It is not generally possible to rent a musical instrument for the duration of your stay. You can always contact a local store and negotiate an individual deal. However, if it is possible we recommend that you bring your own instrument.

11. Where does the music instruction take place?

Music instruction takes place at the “Vienna Conservatorium” which is about 20 minutes from ActiLingua Academy by underground. About 600 students from all over the world study music at the institute. Instruction for music students and professionals and lessons for enthusiastic amateurs are available.
