OUR TRAININGS
The CFMI provides a professional higher education validated by a diploma, the DUMI (Diplôme Universitaire de Musicien Intervenant).
This diploma attests to the ability to develop and conduct projects in the field of musical education in and out of school with various professionals in the field of childhood. It can also be delivered within the framework of the validation of acquired experience (VAE).

I had been working for a few years as a sports educator, while having an active musical practice.
I went to the CFMI's open house, before taking the entrance test.
This very rich training allowed me to deepen my musical culture and to progress in my instrumental and pedagogical practice; this is thanks to the quality of the teaching as well as to the team of permanent staff who ensure the follow-up of the students.
I was able to progress thanks to the numerous training courses and musical projects offered (music in hospitals, music from the Balkans, orchestra in schools, etc.)
Finally, these 2 years at the CFMI allowed me to benefit from a network which was very useful once I obtained my Dumi.
I am currently employed full time in a music conservatory; I work in the schools of the commune and I am in charge of musical awakening as well as musical workshops for adults in situation of handicap.

After a childhood spent at the conservatory, going as far as to integrate a CHAM class in high school, I did not appreciate the curriculum proposed in cycle 3 of the conservatory and I therefore stopped classical music at 14. After my engineering studies, I gradually regained my taste for music by approaching the repertoire of traditional and improvised music. An extended stay of 6 years in South America as a musician allowed me to study many musical cultures. Upon my return to France, I decided to train in teaching pedagogy and it is by talking with former music teachers that I came to know the CFMI of Aix-en-Provence.
These two years of study were very intense, because of the eclectic program that forces us to leave our comfort zone. I was able to develop solid skills in vocal technique, group pedagogy, MAO and especially a pedagogy of learning through creation. The teachers are of a high quality and are all active in the region, which allows us to have a precise feedback on our future in the profession. The only criticism I have of this training is that it would perhaps be more interesting to delve into the specialities of each student, this would probably avoid an unnecessary expenditure of energy in certain subjects which will be useless for certain profiles.
The possibilities of work after the DUMI are great, it will be necessary to make a choice according to one's preferences. Full-time jobs as a guest musician are plentiful if you are willing to travel around the country. After discovering the Orchestre à l'École and DEMOS programs in my second year, I decided to look for work in these programs and I am now part of DEMOS Marseille as a clarinet player and pedagogical manager. I also kept a link with singing in schools, the heart of the MI's work, by working for Musicatreize within a school. By choice, I did not look for another job because I wish to reserve a part of my time to my professional artistic life.
After obtaining a degree in Sciences and Humanities, I entered the Conservatory of Aix-en-Provence in Current Music and French Song in 2016.

After obtaining a degree in Sciences and Humanities, I entered the Conservatory of Aix-en-Provence in Current Music and French Song in 2016. After two years there, I returned to the CFMI of Aix under the guidance of Pierre Gueyrard.
I had already been working with children on artistic and musical trips since I was 19 years old, and I was looking for a training to professionalize myself in music interventions in schools.
The CFMI brought me an extraordinary richness, both musical and pedagogical, and inspiring encounters. The passion and the rigor of its trainers and its administration motivated me in such a way that I started to find what I really wanted to do.
After having validated my diploma in June 2020, I was recruited by the town hall of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon in August 2020, as a full time contractual teacher (20h/week).
I work in 5 schools (3 kindergartens, 2 elementary schools) with 26 classes per week. I have quickly benefited from the support of my superiors, as well as my colleagues, and I feel a real accomplishment to realize projects with my students and their teachers.
I am still working in the same job in Villeneuve, while conducting artistic activities (music group "Fauzene", and personal realizations), and while seeking to intervene as a trainer in song creation for children and adults.
