All schools admit boys only, and from them form small choirs /of 12-16 members/ to sing daily services in the town cathedral and the college church or chapel.Choir schools for boys uphold a venerable tradition in that the masterpieces of by-gone centuries are sung by boys /or boys and men/ in accordance with contemporaneous practice. Most of the pupils are full boarders. Choral singing inserted into the study period of a day at various intervals is a significant means of education. Each pupil learns one or more instruments. The strictly concentrated study hours are several times interrupted for sports, physical exercise, games and numerous free activities.i'/V .111It I1.Gyermekkarok /Children's Choirs/ /xgkg/.
