Music plays a key role in this philosophy. All students are involved in music classes. In addition to large concerts, many small shows with children are held throughout the year. On Saturdays, students perform at a school concert either as part of various ensembles, or as solo performers. During the academic year, master classes and performances by invited international musicians take place. The school regularly holds competitions among young talents. Individual lessons with a teacher are possible.
The school considers theatre art much more than just staging performances. This is an opportunity for students to change their perception of themselves and their abilities, learn how to work with different groups of people. Everyone can feel like the creator of the theatre. Children take part in the production of stage performances and radio performances, participate in master classes, and go on theatre tours.
