About


The music department of RésoNAnces operates at the intersection of performance and pedagogy training, rooted in the shared principles of excellence in instrumental practice and the development of distinct artistic identities.

The programs leading to the bachelor in performance (diplôme national supérieur professionnel de musicien-DNSP) for musicians, as well as the bachelor in instrumental and vocal pedagogy (diplôme d’Etat) for music teachers or accompanists, are available through all pathways: initial training, apprenticeships, continuing professional development, and the validation of prior experience (VAE).

RésoNAnces aims to train artists who are deeply attuned to contemporary realities, open to interdisciplinarity, and capable of realizing their multifaceted profiles by embedding themselves within a regional ecosystem and leveraging established networks. The institution places a strong emphasis on professional integration while supporting further studies in both artistic and pedagogical fields.

To achieve this, RésoNAnces implements an pedagogical framework that combines: cross-disciplinary collaborations between music, dance, and other art forms; project-based learning and experimental practice; tailored artistic and pedagogical instruction for each department; and an active engagement with research.

The teaching team of recognized professionals, is regularly enhanced by the involvement of internationally renowned guest figures across all disciplines. It thrives on close ties with professional organizations, a dynamic network with other higher education institutions, regular connections with the industry, and an active international outlook.
