For student musicians at the Conservatoire de Paris, passing on their art and passion to younger students is often a powerful desire that will shape part of their future professional lives.
The mission of the teaching department is to provide all these future teachers with the tools and perspectives they need. It has grown considerably in recent years, enabling it to respond to virtually all the teaching training projects expressed by students at the Conservatoire, as well as welcoming experienced musicians from a wide variety of backgrounds who are keen to improve their teaching skills. From introductory courses, open to all students in the second cycle of higher education, to the various degrees of specialisation leading to specific diplomas (the state diploma, the certificate of aptitude, the second cycle of higher education diploma in teaching conferring a Master's degree), the department currently offers courses to more than 300 students. Its flexible, modular courses adapt harmoniously to the sometimes heavy constraints of training as a performer or starting a career.
To complete its range of courses, the teaching department also offers training for conservatory directors, validated by a certificate of aptitude for the role of director of an artistic establishment.
