State Diploma for Music Teachers course

This joint DNSPM/DE course begins in semester 1 of the initial course and ends in semester 6, at the same time as the DNSPM and Bachelor’s degree.

Comprehensive, optimum training

• It is very rich in terms of training content, with a strong pedagogical component, but it also preserves the time needed for students to develop their artistic and technical potential.
• It is essential for their professional integration and responds to their legitimate concerns in terms of career opportunities: teaching in specialised structures or association schools represents a large part, and for some disciplines an even essential part, of their activity.
• It responds to the spirit of the reform initiated and led by the Ministry of Culture, enabling students to obtain 3 national diplomas within the same structure: the DNSPM, the Bachelor’s degree of Music and the DE. 
• It is in line with the logic of bringing together training courses leading to teaching and interpreting.
