Acting in music, especially chamber music, can always provide more enjoyment than simply listening to music. The cooperation between institutions of public education and of those of fostering culture is fundamental in the service of musical education. This is why concert pedagogy is part of teaching music. This pedagogical approach regards teaching receptivity as its primary objective, trying to offer valid experiences and musical knowledge to students and the audience, putting an emphasis on tools specifically available for music ensembles. The aim of this program part is to develop the students’ creativity and entrepreneurship through classical string quartet music inspired productions. Teamwork is fundamental to the functioning of a string quartet, the most representative form of chamber music. The essence of playing chamber music is the continuing dialogue between instruments, accentuating important melodies while assigning more muted volume to accompanying instruments. This is why it plays a defining role in the development of musical creativity.
