As there are very few places available, it is important to demonstrate your personal musical qualities through your choice of program. Choosing repertoire that reflects who you are as a musician is extremely important.

Priority will be given to candidates who demonstrate, parallel to a strong command of their instrument, curiosity, openness, individuality, and who have clear musical goals that the HEM can help achieve during their studies.

The saxophone class is made up of 9 students over the various Bachelor and Masters programs.

Lessons are held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with weekly studio classes, ensemble rehearsals, and regular guests invited to work with the students in preparation for performances in Geneva and beyond.
