An orchestral studies program may include traveling with an ensemble or working part-time as a music tutor. Ranging from one to three years, the programs may educate future orchestral musicians through hands-on experiences and engagement with local communities.

Courses are academic classes taught by qualified instructors that are intended to enhance participant’s knowledge of a given area or training in a particular discipline. Courses vary broadly in terms of length, size, content and duration.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
