When it was first established, Pablo Casals, Nadia Boulanger, Paul Dukas, Arthur Honegger, and others served as lecturers. Today, the school continues to enjoy worldwide fame thanks to its excellent faculty, including Mireille Alcantara in the vocal department, Jean-Marc Luisada in the piano department, Annick Roussin in the violin department, and Vicens Prats in the flute department. The program is subdivided to provide a thorough music education. The courses are broadly divided into Cycle Préparatoire (preparatory course), 1er, 2ème, and 3ème Cycles Supérieur.

Students can also study a wide range of subjects, including solfège, sight-reading, analysis, chamber music, and harmony. The university is also proactive in accepting international students, and in recent years the number of international students from Asia in particular has been increasing.
