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.

Unique of their kind, lyric diction classes are an invaluable resource for performance, enabling singers, pianists, accompanists, conductors, musicologists and conductors to discover other cultures, to restore the singularities and poetry of the work in its original language.

By approaching language as musical material, the Russian lyric diction class is at the crossroads of instrumental aspects (specific effects of language on the resonance box), linguistic aspects (alphabet, rules of reading, syntax, versification) and intercultural aspects. Encouraged to make their own musical choices from among the great wealth of the Russian vocal repertoire, the students learn to be independent when faced with a work in Russian, and allow themselves to give a personal interpretation, without needing to know how to speak the language.
