Specific instrumental skills necessary for playing choral scores that are different from playing piano literature (eg reading multiple scores at once, octave transposition of tenor parts, etc.). Furthermore, the chord playing guitar, which is well usable in art-pedagogical practice. Chords and usual rhythmic figures. Emphasis is placed on the auditory concept. The selection of compositions depends on the degree of difficulty, taking into account the technical maturity of the student from simpler to more complex.
