The Organization and Content of Musical Performance Training in the Higher National Conservatories of Music and Dance in Paris and Lyon

On the wave of the multi-vectored processes in higher musical education of performing musicians in many ways conditioned by social transformations and the practice of the contemporary art of music generated by parallel means in different European countries, particularly France primarily accepted the Bologne Convention in 2008 as a convenient model, on the other hand, for broad partner interaction and mutual enrichment and, on the other hand – of an artistic “restoration” of a historically established original system of higher musical education for performers in this country. The article shows the particularities of reorganization of the structure, the principle of bestowing scholarly degrees in the two most prestigious higher educational institutions – the Paris and Lyon Higher Conservatories of Music and Dance. Conclusions are arrived at about the immense potentials and particularities of the tendencies of development of the transnational convention twovectored in its nature, the acceptance of which opens up new prospects for extending the range of acquired specializations and the intellectualization of training in higher educational institutions in our country. Keywords: system of higher education, conservatories of France, Bologne Convention
