The stress falls on the difficult mission of establishing the specific hierarchy (part master, placement on desks, choosing the concert-maestro), action that proves to be extremely delicate taking into consideration the age category we refer to.

After choosing the members of the hard core of the ensemble, it is recommended that the master shall empower and present the tasks that one must meet.
