INTERMEDIATE-ADVANCED ZITHER PLAYERS' PROFESSIONAL TRAINING COURSE

We invite students in their 4th year and beyond at music schools and arts schools, as well as those studying at intermediate level, and adult zither players to apply for this practical seven-session training course.
The aim of the training is to enable zither players to develop their playing technique, expand their melodic repertoire, and experience the joy of ensemble playing through learning new training methods outside of regular lessons.
The training is led by Balogh Sándor, zither instructor, with the participation of Kuttner Fruzsina, zither instructor, and Gál János, zither player. Registration and information are available at the school's phone number, 06 1 388 63 81, with Balogh Sándor.
Registration requires good sight-reading ability and ear-training skills in melody learning, as well as a good-quality zither tuned in "A".
The training takes place monthly on Fridays between 5 and 7 p.m. in the main hall of the Óbuda Folk Music School. The planned dates of the training are:
2019. October 04,
November 22,
December 13,
2020. January 24,
February 28,
