Based on the study of theatrical texts and the analysis of performances, this course proposes a reflection on the relationship between text and staging, based on a body of work chosen from the Paris theatre season which the students attend. The teaching is linked to the shows chosen and will be adapted to the health situation if necessary (work based on recordings or online creations).

This is a fundamental course in the chronological and synthetic history of music, covering developments in notation, genres and forms, writing, collective and individual styles, practices and functions in Western music, from Gregorian chant to the present day, and combining lectures, workshops, presentations and research.

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.
