Composition

Composition

As a forum for reflection on contemporary creation, the School’s composition classes enable musicians to reveal their creative sensibilities and to hear the fruit of their work every year thanks to a partnership with the Ensemble Variances.

Each level has its own set of complementary teaching units, either mandatory or optional, depending on the course of study chosen
