Piano

Today, our reputation rests on a high-quality team of professors, who are both high-level performers and accomplished teachers, attentive to the expectations of their students. We offer a very open approach to teaching, enabling our students to work with several professors on their main subject. That is almost unique in the world and offers a fantastic opportunity to engage in multiple ways of learning. Initiations in creativity and contemporary music are also offered, in conjunction with the HEM’s students of composition and the Centre de musique électro-acoustique (CME).

Every year, the piano classes organise the Festival of the piano, an event that enables the students to meet up and play together, along with numerous chamber music projects. Moreover, the HEM maintains close ties with the musical institutions and events in French-speaking Switzerland and elsewhere, thereby offering a variety of opportunities for playing.

Finally, we make available to our students a high-quality collection of instruments, including fifteen half-tail Steinways with remarkable sound properties.
