Conservatories Will Become High Schools And ...

... just wait and see, we're going to end up retracing the French pyramid

But who told you this absurd thing? They just approved the reform of the conservatories and they are already going back on their word??? Mmmm that seems strange to me... Anyway, I'll see about getting information through indirect ways

... fresh news from informed people

That doesn't seem right to me at all. And pre-academic courses are perfectly legal (they are included in the 508 and in the DPR 212).

I have informed myself from reliable sources: it is not true.

I was wondering... How would it be possible to decide which conservatory to downgrade to a high school and which to promote to a university?

The MIUR-AFAM reform is very clear. From this year, new students will only be able to enroll in the new systems and will obtain three-year first-level bachelor's degrees and two-year second-level specialist degrees, exactly as happens in all other universities.

At this point, the age limit for conservatory enrollment should also be extended.... or not?

For pre-academics, every conservatory behaves differently: in many cases, however, except for the most popular instruments where they take young students, there are no age limits.

For academics, the only constraint is having a high school diploma (or obtaining it within the three-year period).

There should also be passing an entrance exam; to be clear, the courses have limited enrollment

great, I also found the three-year program for pf on my city's conservatory website

Obviously, but I took it for granted (erroneously). They aren't strictly limited enrollment anyway, let's say restricted.

What does "vincolato" mean?

That if you are not at a certain level, you are not able to follow the courses. In essence, there is no limited enrollment, but students must arrive with a certain degree of minimum preparation...

It means that, whereas once every instrumental teacher had to have about 10 students, now there is no defined number. If you mainly have two-year and three-year programs, fewer are needed to complete the required hours; if you have pre-academic students, more are required.

This means that in the Conservatory, students enter as long as there is space.

True ZedeF, but usually the number of applicants exceeds the number of available places, so a ranking is created based on the results of the entrance exam and consequently, even if theoretically there wouldn't be a declared fixed number but rather one depending on various factors, it is as if there were.

Anyway, the important thing is to understand each other
