Based around sound recording and mixing sessions, and courses combining practical exercises and masterclasses, this course aims to develop the method and confidence needed to carry out a post-production and mixing project, in keeping with the aesthetic of the recorded repertoire. At the end of this course, musician-engineers will be able to prepare and manage a work session with musicians and to prioritise the artistic and technical issues involved, using different technologies.

Covering aesthetic, technical and methodological issues, this course provides training in sound recording in the fields of rock, variety and jazz music. Combining the roles of sound recordist and musician-arranger, students are able to carry out recording sessions of contemporary music in the studio or live, from preparation to mixing, in a wide variety of aesthetics.

In addition to their studies, instrumentalists can take an introduction to the harpsichord, providing a stylistic and technical complement to their main discipline.

Organised over 5 days, this module offers an immersion into the issues of musical transmission, to students preparing a ^2nd cycle Diploma in Music Performance (all aesthetics, all instruments or singing), Writing or Musicology. Validation of the "Sciences of Musical Education" cycle in the DE curriculum entails automatic validation of the "Initiation to Pedagogy" module within the ^2nd Cycle Music Performer Diploma.

The transmission here is not understood solely in terms of the "classical" teaching posture, but by drawing on the creative impulse, repertoires and artistic imagination of the students∙es. By not limiting itself to the framework of conservatoire teaching, the 'pedagogy' to which this module proposes to introduce thus intends to help the musician not only to carry out the practical tasks of transmission which are or will be theirs in a professional context, but also to give meaning to their role in society.
