presentation of the higher school and the nationally certified music teacher’s degree
Our school is a member of a network of over fifteen higher education establishments overseen by the French Ministère de la Culture («State Department of Culture»), committed to providing the finest education in the performing arts and the teaching of dance and drama studies.
Whether you are a young high school graduate or a university graduate, the Cefedem Normandie offers strong undergraduate and graduate programs that will lead you to a nationally certified music teacher’s degree (Diplôme d’Etat), drawn up by acknowledged and highly renowned artists, lecturers and re-searchers.
The training project led by the Cefedem Normandy is based on several fundamentals: collective and interdisciplinary work, strong artistic requirement, experimentation and research, crosses between various aesthetics and disciplines, articulation with the interregional and international professional environment, with the aim of helping its students invent a sensitive approach to the world, a place that allows each student to develop his singularity, while developing his own tools. The training thus promotes and develops professional identity of the artist-teacher.
To this end, we will support you throughout the entire course with an artistic, academic and administrative team, and provide you access to a network of key partnerships where you can find countless opportunities, including internships and an extensive range of resources, which will prepare you for a successful professional career.
I wish you all the very best in your education!

Our school welcomes musicians of contemporary musical creation, amplified actual music, jazz and improvised music, traditional and early music, as well as instrumentalists and singers from classical to contemporary repertoires and, in continuing education, professionals in artistic education and performing arts. | The training project led by Cefedem is based on several fundamentals: collective and interdisciplinary work, strong artistic requirements, experimentation and research, crosses between various aesthetics and disciplines, articulation with the interregional and international professional environment. | Foreign students wishing to follow all or part of the course at the Cefedem de Normandie should take into consideration that all classes are delivered in French. They will therefore have to demonstrate a level of mastery adapted to their mobility project. Exchange students can take French language courses on evening classes at the Language Centre of Rouen Normandie University, including special training courses and State exams for the delivery of French language certifications DELF and DALF. | In a well-balanced articulation with the professional outlets of its students, our establishment strives to be a place of experimentation and research, whose challenge is to convey and invent a sensitive approach to the world, a place that allows each student to develop his singularity, while developing his own tools. |
" A truly innovative and research-orientated spirit, close to the most experimental programs in the educational sciences, characterizes this institution. […] The objectives of the educational training, their pedagogical implementation, the quality of the teaching staff (involving several recognized researchers and artists), as well as the results (graduation and professional integration on a regional scale and beyond), show that the Cefedem is now clearly positioned as a leader in the Norman landscape of higher music education."
