    The application is open from November 9 to February 8.

  • THE SIDE BY SIDE TRACK PYRAMID

    Side by Side offers something for most people, but it is important that you choose the right track when you apply. Here are tips on how to do it!

    The track pyramid illustrates the approximate age group and level for the various tracks. It should be seen as a guide and is not written in stone. If you are not sure which track to choose after you have gone through the repertoire and read the different track pages, contact us at sidebyside@gso.se and we will help you!

    WHICH TRACK SHOULD I CHOOSE?

    There are five factors that determine which track you should apply for on Side by Side.

    • Age
    • Experience
    • Repertoire
    • Interest
    • Personal circumstances

    Use the track pyramid to get a quick overview of the age and level of the different tracks. It is important that you talk to your instrument teacher/choir conductor about the repertoire to decide which track is right for you. More detailed information and repertoire can be found on the respective track page.

     

    The track guidance icons on the track pages also help identify the right track for you. Read more about those further down this page.
