The study of specific compositions makes it possible to obtain an overview of the choral literature of a certain choral grouping and the principles of its interpretation. The content of the course is active membership in one of the existing faculty. Simultaneously with the education of the choir singer, the subject follows the individual experience with the interpretation of specific vocal works performed with the choir on various occasions. In addition to regular participation in rehearsals and proving mastery of the studied repertoire, a condition for credit is a written review of concerts of professional choirs, as well as participation in the organization of training and preparation of the accompanying text of the concert program.

It cultivates a sense of interplay, contributes to a harmonious and rhythmic feeling and also to the development of musical intellectual abilities. Playing in a chamber ensemble or orchestra leads the student to conscious creative discipline, enriches his musical thinking with the perception of harmonic polyphony, expands his knowledge of music literature and generally affects the student's aesthetic development.
