This undergraduate program trains classical instrumentalists, on piano, strings, or other orchestral instruments, through instrument-specific study combined with ensemble practice, music history, theory, and analysis. It develops performers attentive to the character and historical context of the works they interpret. The credential is a Baccalaureat en musique (concentration: Interpretation instruments classiques), a 90-credit, full-time program completed over three years at the Montreal campus, with a single annual intake in the Fall term. Admission is based mainly on a classical instrumental audition from a designated repertoire, together with a background letter and placement tests in solfege, theory, dictation, and analysis. Applicants specify their instrument and preferred professor as part of the application. Graduates pursue careers as concert soloists, chamber musicians, orchestral performers, or accompanists; further study at the master's, DESS, DEPA, or doctoral level is common for those pursuing competitive professional performance careers.
