How do music undergraduates study abroad?

First of all, in the end, you still have to look at what diploma you get after studying abroad. In this regard, students who are planning to come to France to study music may be a little bit shocked, because so far there are only two music conservatories recognized by the Chinese Ministry of Education: the Conservatoire Nationale Supérieure de Musique de Paris and the Conservatoire Nationale Supérieure de Musique de Lyon. These two conservatories only recruit a very small number of foreigners from around the world every year (taking piano as an example, they recruit 3 foreign students every year). I don’t know if this is the reason. The piano industry now generally believes that The experts are all gathered in the United States, Germany, and France, and it seems that they are no longer competitive enough.

As the ECOLENORMALEDEMUSIQUE and PARIS that most Chinese students choose to enroll in, the admission requirements are quite simple, that is, a performance sample of about 10 minutes, a letter of motivation, an application fee of 300 euros (it will be considered as part of the tuition if you enroll), and others No GPA or letters of recommendation are required.

This school is a private school, but it is also the only school that Chinese students can apply for (because other music conservatories have to take the exam in person), so many Chinese students regard this school as The springboard was to first come to France, study at this school for one year, and then transfer to other national conservatoires.

ENMDEPARIS is famous for its high difficulty passing rate. About 2 people can pass the exam every year, but one thing to note is that not those who can pass the exam must be the best performers, because Everyone knows that there are many uncertain factors when it comes to music exams, which is why this music school is famous for "exams". At the end of every year, many students who have performed well and their tutors go to the teaching director to discuss why. Another student with poor performance can pass the exam, but this one with good performance cannot? In addition, this music conservatory implements a grading system. The specific details will have to wait until you come to France and conduct an interview before admission. Most Chinese students will be assigned to Level 3 or Level 4 for one year (there are six levels in total), but as mentioned before, it is very difficult to pass each level.

Finally, if you graduate from a Chinese university and come to this music conservatory, if you are assigned to level 5, you must take chamber music and sight-reading. Those below level 5 , except for the instrumental music class (that is, the main class of the instrument you are learning).
