Concert

This area of study concerns the majority of students who are instrumentalists and singers. It prepares them for activity as a generalist musician and performer. Two options are offered, in the fields of chamber music and contemporary music.

Admission criteria

In addition to the general criteria for access to the Master’s, the following special conditions are requested:

  • Aura, stage presence
  • Ability to communicate musically

These skills are tested in a vocal or instrumental admissions test.

Study programme

Main trainig

The main training module is centred around individual classes lasting 80 minutes in the main discipline.

Special training

In the special training module, the student perfects their practice in an ensemble, whether in the context of chamber music or in larger ensembles (orchestras or choirs).

Complementary and optional training

In this module, a portion of the free choice is left to the student. Depending on what their Master’s project is and what their professional project is, students can choose between several topics proposed by the HEM’s tutors within the framework of research workshops, between several classes that could supplement their training and between several methods of obtaining validation of their preparation for the profession.

Master’s Project

The Master’s project involves:

  • an artistic production at two public recitals,
  • a written work showing the musician’s capacity for critical thinking.
