Whether on location, in the studio or as part of radio editing, the aim of this course is to master recording techniques specific to images (voice recording, boom techniques). By the end of the course, students will have acquired the autonomy to make recordings as part of cinematographic set-ups and to construct sound scenography. By broadening their perception to include a variety of subtleties, they will become familiar with the 'grammar' specific to the language of sound.

The large number of people involved in a music project within artistic and technical teams calls for specific knowledge and skills in terms of communication and project management. From the organisation of the project (planning, associated resources, specifications) to the mobilisation of the players (leadership, steering and coordination), via evaluation, this course gives students the fundamental skills to be able to manage a project independently.

Through independent production projects, students learn to produce an original artistic and technical programme in the field of recorded music, music production, live performance or creation. Using personal initiative and creativity on the one hand, and technical, artistic and/or educational means and resources on the other, these initiatives are part of a dynamic of professional integration. On completion of this course, musician-engineers will be able to design and direct a recording or broadcasting programme in conjunction with the musicians and technical teams, as well as producing and post-producing the project, guided by a solid artistic direction.

Professionalization training spread over the^1st and^2nd postgraduate cycles, consisting of practical workshops and plenary lectures on the following themes:

APM1: health (prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, hearing risks, sexist and sexual violence, managing performance anxiety)

APM2: audiences and projects (digital issues, mediation, stage presence; designing, building and defending an artistic project)

APM3: rights and finance (public and private funding and the legal framework for the musician's profession)

APM4: solidarity initiatives (working in sectors far removed from music)
