Since it was founded by Alfred Cortot in 1919, the École normale de musique de Paris has attracted students from all over the world for the excellence of its teaching and its commitment to promoting French music abroad.

The School’s aim is to train complete and enlightened musicians, whether instrumentalists, singers, composers or conductors: practice at the highest level is combined with the acquisition of a solid general culture, as well as intensive preparation for international competitions and the demands of a career as a musician.
