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.

The classical dance taught at the Conservatoire is inherited from the French dance practised in Western Europe since the 17th century, whose founding technical and aesthetic principles are en-dehors and aplomb, a spirit of rigour and a concern for elegance and clarity.

What makes men's ballet so special is the extreme virtuosity and complexity of the gyrations and jumps, while maintaining clarity and elegance at all times.

Since 1661, with the creation of the Académie de Danse by Louis XIV, men's dance has continued to evolve. Known as the Danse Noble, it is a codified dance, influenced by the artistic and stylistic currents of each era right up to the present day. The specificity of men's ballet lies in the extreme virtuosity and complexity of the gyrations and jumps, while maintaining clarity and elegance at all times. As well as mastering the great variations in the repertoire, the classical dancer must be an excellent partner.

The Conservatoire continues this tradition of training versatile dancers, basing its teaching on the French and Russian schools.

Through exploration of the instrument's repertoire, historical perspective and in-depth technical work, this course aims to develop mastery of the instrument and a critical approach to interpretation. Particular attention is paid to listening to one's body, in order to prevent the aches and pains associated with playing the instrument. The face-to-face teaching approach allows for personalised learning, helping each student to reach his or her full potential.
