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.

Rock, pop, soul, rhythm & blues, blues, jazz rock, world, funk, punk, grunge, Motown or even Stax... First of all, in the form of listening workshops, this course revisits the heritage of electro-amplified or contemporary music, in the light of the context that made it essential. Then, through practical work, from the making to the production of an album, as well as lectures from key players in the music industry, it aims to illustrate the constraints specific to music production in the field of contemporary music, as well as providing the keys to cultivating one's aesthetic sense and singular identity.

Based around sound recording, mixing and production sessions, and courses combining practical exercises and masterclasses, this course trains students to become producers of contemporary music. Students deepen their knowledge of a wide range of sound creation tools, cultivate their aesthetic sense of recorded repertoires, and acquire a solid command of demo and mixing.

The aim of the music history A course is to provide students with the essential factual knowledge of music history (chronology, main composers, knowledge of the different genres and main forms, works in the repertoire, etc.) and to raise awareness of the aesthetic and cultural contexts of the major periods in the history of Western music.

The aim of this course is to expose students to as many instruments as possible (e.g. the chalumeau, basset-horn and romantic clarinets), taking as a basis the classical 5-key clarinet and the musical and rhetorical language that goes with it. From this starting point, the aim is to venture into a wide variety of repertoires from different periods. This instrument also serves as a basis for consolidating the technical fundamentals needed to tackle the full range of historical clarinets. Curiosity about the cultural context of each work is essential. Exploring all the resources available is essential for interpreting this repertoire, while remaining true to one's own musical personality.
