In addition to studying the modern oboe, an introduction to the baroque oboe enables instrumentalists to complement their main discipline stylistically and technically (working on flexibility, air speed).

Study of vocal and instrumental polyphonic writing, whether free or using advanced contrapuntal techniques (combinatorics, double or triple counterpoint, canon, etc.).

Study of the musical discourse based on given elements (themes, chorale melodies, melodic incises) through short forms (chorale prelude, variation, motet).

Two programmes alternating every other year.

Year A:

• In-house work in three weeks: Motet on a ^{nineteenth-century} author for vocal quartet and keyboard;
• Loge de 17h sans piano: Choral variations in the style of J.-S. Bach;
• Homework in a fortnight: Chorale variation in the style of J.-S. Bach using canonical writing, on the same subject as the lodge.

Year B:

• Homework in three weeks: Motet in the style of J.-S. Bach for vocal quartet and continuo;
• 5 pm lodge without piano: Variations on a ^{nineteenth-century} author for piano;
• Two weeks' homework: A more developed final variation on the same subject as the lodge.

The programme studied during 2024-2025 is the A programme.

In addition to their studies, instrumentalists can take an introduction to the harpsichord, providing a stylistic and technical complement to their main discipline.
