During the interview, the candidate answers questions asked by members of the committee, in particular verifying the candidates general musical knowledge and concerning his/her presentation (repertoire, contexts). The duration of the interview is approximately 5-10 minutes. The dean may admit a candidate declaring a foreign language other than English to the interview.
