 F.A.Q. 

Are the halls of residence located on the premises where the courses are delivered?
No. The "Résidence Universitaire Montebello" is within a walking distance of approximately 15 minutes from the Conservatory (a map will be given to you at arrival). 
If I am a minor, are my parents allowed to share my room even if they are not participants of the Academy?
No. The rooms are only single rooms but they can also have their own room if you are a minor. The price for an accompanying parent is the same than the student  for a single room accommodation and it includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and a bus pass. The reservation for accompanying will occur after the primary listing by email request.
Is our room equipped with a kitchenette?
No, the rooms of "Residence Universitaire Montebello" are only equipped with a bed, a washbasin, a shower, toilet, a refrigerator. The Academy will cater for your breakfast, lunch and dinner. 
What is the language of instruction? 
Each professor of the Academy speaks at least French and/or English. 
Should we send a recording to be accepted at the Academy?
No
It is mandatory for all participants, when registered, to mention on their internet student account their complete personal and artistic datas (ident and password given to you when registration is valid). 
Are we required to pass an audition to be accepted on a course?
The student selection is made upon prior file examination.
For instrumentalists, professors may conduct an audition at the beginning of the training course in order to check the level of each student. 
How many hours of individual coaching are included in the training course?
Each professor structures his master class in his own method. However, you will have at least 3 hours of individual coaching spread over one week. Your day will therefore be divided between your own individual sessions, attending your classmates' individual sessions, collective courses and your hours of practice. 
How many students are there in one class?
It depends on the professor's choice and the course being taught. Some of them impose a Numerus Clausus. 
Is it possible to follow two different courses during the same week?
Yes, it is perfectly possible. Yet, you should not forget to mention it to your professors on the very first day, so that you may manage your timetable in the best possible way. 
Should we choose a specific repertoire for the training course?
Yes. In fact, you should prefer this option. You may choose to work on a repertoire specially selected for the training course. You will be able to register your selection in your student account on the internet so that your professor is aware of it (you will receive a username and a password once your registration is approved). 
Will we perform in student concerts? 
All students can register but the professor together with the person in charge of the concert programme carry out a selection exercise in order to avoid too lengthy concerts. 
Are there special rooms available for individual practice?
Yes. Each student should book his/her practice studio for a maximum of 3 hours per day. Students staying at the Academy may also work at the "Residence Universitaire Montebello" during the day, at authorized hours. 
Are there any international participants?
There are over 50 different countries represented at the Academy. You will thus be able to meet musicians from different countries of the world. 
Can we attend the concerts of the festival "Les Concerts du Cloître" free of charge?
Yes, it is included in the course fees, provided there are seats available and during all festival length. 
When is the closing date for registration?
No closing date. But be carefull, master classes are full rapidly.
Can I book an extra night in your residence?
We can eventually accept some extra nights between sessions but not at the very beginning of the Academy, neither at the very last end. Be carefull : we'll be able to confirm your extra nights only a few days before the beginning of the Academy.
How much is one extra night?
40€ Euros.
Can I have lunch at the Conservaroty (without accomodation) and how much is it for 7 days?
Yes. 60€ Euros for 7 days. Information at the Conservatory desk.
