The masterclass program includes four individual lessons à 45 minutes – at least one lesson with each professor, as well as internal performances and public concerts. Chamber music lessons for existing groups can also be arranged as an alternative to individual lessons. Participants are encouraged to observe one another's lessons.

Participants are free to choose their own repertoire. The prepared works should be of a level of difficulty comparable to a solo sonata or partita by Bach or Ysaÿe, or to a classical, romantic, or contemporary work
