Didactics of rehearsaling choral compositions of different styles, differentiation according to used compositional techniques, complicated use of individual musical means of expression, but also types and interpretation level of choirs. Students' readiness in the proficiency of reading musical notes is developed by the accompaniment and the playing of piano lifts. Particular attention is therefore paid to the play from the sheet, in which the main aim is not a detailed expression elaboration of the interpreted composition, but an effort to "read" the score globally and its sound realization in a form that corresponds to the technical possibilities of the artist. The aim of the course is also the ability of artistic cooperation with a soloist or choirmaster and accompanied choir. Work with diverse musical material - didactic and instructive, orchestral and chamber parts and scores, piano lifts, but also the necessary stylization of folk and popular songs using chord marks. Theoretical knowledge and practical skills can be practically applied by students with chamber choir rehearsals.
