At the crossroads between music training, chamber music, instrumental and orchestral classes, the sight-reading class gives instrumentalists the essential solfeggio, musical and instrumental reflexes they need when faced with a new score. Once they have grasped the musical theme, they are in a position to give their own interpretation. This apprenticeship also forms the basis of collective playing, through ensemble sight-reading, which requires attentive listening to one's partners. Whether individual or collective, the course emphasises the concepts that are essential to all instrumental playing: intonation, rhythmic precision, nuances, flexibility of tone and the ability to construct a coherent musical phrase from reading.

Consisting of individual or paired mixing lessons, and exercises based on productions, this course aims to acquire the method and confidence to carry out a post-production and mixing project, in keeping with the aesthetic of the recorded repertoire. At the end of this course, the musician-engineers will be able to prepare and manage a work session with musicians and to prioritise the artistic and technical issues, using different technologies.
