The two-year second cycle offers pianists the opportunity to achieve the highest standards and a professional level of accompaniment, particularly for instrumentalists. Through intensive individual practice, as well as group work in the Conservatoire orchestra and elsewhere, students are helped to assert and express their artistic personality.

The only one of its kind in Europe, this course trains students to become pianists who accompany dance classes, both classical and contemporary, choreographic performances and dance-related vocal conductors.

The Artist diploma - Interprétation Création programme is aimed at performers who are already fully trained in the 'classical' repertoires and techniques, and who have already acquired a taste for and knowledge of contemporary repertoires, techniques and writing.

This course is devoted to the development of technical (reading, rhythm, auditioning, recording, etc.), analytical and cultural skills relating to the speciality of musical training.
