In order to move away as much as possible from a too school traditional diagram, this year, an experiment of music computer-assisted was installation in certain classes of musical formation. With regard to the disciplines instrumen- bruise, thirty minutes of course are exempted by pupil, whatever the level. Several instruments are taught there (piano, flute, baffery, clarinet, guitar, saxophone, violin, trumpet). The principal role of the school and its teachers is the promo- tion and the sensitizing of a maximum of children to this marvellous art that is the music and to give to each one the possibility of becoming a musician. It is obvious that all the pupils will not become artists and besides, for the majority, such is not their wish. There does not remain less true about it than even a musician " amateur' must have an excellent musical luggage.
