The “Direction” track relies on the teaching teams of the two regional conservatoires in Paris and Boulogne-Billancourt for artistic teaching and those of Sorbonne University for theoretical teaching.
The PSPBB offers teacher training in conjunction with the DNSPM, leading to the State Diploma (DE) for Music Teachers.
