Details
Prior to the start of the term, participants are required to send a short video introducing themselves and demonstrating their musical ability on the marimba ( 5 minutes maximum). Additionally a Zoom call with Theodor will be scheduled in order to create a personal program addressing the specific needs of each student.
Special focus on auditions / entry examinations / final exams will be discussed with each participant during the interview prior to the start each term, if desired.
A detailed schedule will be made in coordination with each participant and will be sent one week before the term begins.
Tuition is NON-REFUNDABLE and any lessons, classes, etc will not be rescheduled if unattended by the student (an exception may be granted in the event of illness or other emergency, at the discretion of Theodor Milkov).
All lessons will be arranged at a mutually agreed upon time before the start of term. I will do my best to accommodate all time zones for studio classes, master classes, concerts and recitals, although I cannot guarantee that these times will work for all participants. Most classes outside of lessons will start between 7-9 PM, Athens time (GMT+2).
All lessons and events will take place via Zoom , therefore all participants are required to have their equipment ready and be familiar with the Zoom App.
An external microphone connected to your PC or Laptop is required for adequate sound quality.
A direct ethernet connection between your PC or Laptop and router is preferred to prevent buffering. All that is needed to accomplish this is an ethernet cable and a USB adapter (if your computer does not have an ethernet port).
All music/additional material will be sent to each participant as a PDF
After tuition payment is made and the registration form is completed, Theodor will contact you directly.

A) One-time payment of 800 euros B) Two payments of 400 euros. Payment deadline is one week before the start of the term and a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit of 320 euros is due at registration if tuition is not paid in full.
