Courses

The courses combine high-level artistic and technical teaching with theoretical teaching, organised between the PSPBB and the university.

The professional integration of each student is the major objective of each course. In addition, links with the performing arts are systematically developed through frequent and varied internships. These include master classes, professional immersion courses, professional environment workshops, projects of all formats, public recitals, orchestral sessions, cross-disciplinary meetings, creative residencies, etc., built in partnership with production and distribution structures.

A personalised approach

Each student benefits from the know-how and experience of teaching artists who are specialists of the highest professional repute in their discipline.

The third year of the DNSPM is a year of professional orientation, of pre-specialisation programmed according to the student’s project and the specific needs to be mobilised for success.

Personal projects can be very varied, focusing on all the professions based on artistic and technical fundamentals in each field or speciality. These are projects for soloists, chamber musicians, symphony orchestra musicians, temporary workers with variable-geometry projects, available in original, creative forms, of all aesthetic and multidisciplinary formats.

These projects can also lead to careers in specialised artistic teaching, for which the combined DNSPM/DE courses provide specific preparation.

Universities also offer careers in cultural mediation, music management and administration, and general teaching (Capes, Agrégation, etc.).
