This agreement was initiated by the territorial educational project (PEDT).
“These courses are a way to interest young people”, explains Delphine Pascault, director of the conservatory. “The practice of current music is an important stake. The teacher makes discover this music, makes the link and diversifies.”
Four hours a week, Éric Villeneuve, drums teacher at the conservatory, runs the workshop. He works jointly with Jean-Michel Briols, music teacher in the establishment.
