The composition programme teaches the composer's craft, combining theoretical learning with artistic research. The pieces produced each year are performed by instrumentalists from the Paris Conservatoire as well as by professional performers.

The three-year first cycle is the foundation for learning to be a performer and leads to the DNSPM. The teachers, exceptional artists and teachers, guide the students in the development of their practice and their relationship with their instrument.

Lasting two years, the second cycle offers performers the opportunity to achieve the highest standards in the practice of their art, with autonomy and a critical sense.
