The Instrumental Training Workshops are aimed at providing basic musical and instrumental training and, where appropriate, preparing students for admission to the Preparatory Courses. The maximum age for enrolment is 16 years,not reached by the application deadline.

Admission is subject to an aptitude assessment, and the allocation of the instrument will be decided by the Conservatoire on the basis of available places. The Instrumental Training Workshops last one academic year, with the possibility of re-enrolment for a maximum total duration of three years. The programme includes 50 hours per year, divided into 25 hours of individual instrumental tuition and 25 hours of collective theory classes.

The Instrumental Training Workshops do not include any examinations within the study pathway and, in the case of re-enrolment and limited places, already enrolled students have priority over new applicants.
