Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris, Paris

Great

Excellent and brilliant institution steeped in history, supported by a brilliant and benevolent management. How lucky to be able to include your child when you live in Paris!!! ABOVE ALL, DO NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE BRITISH AND DEFAMATORY STATEMENTS OF A PARENT WHOSE CHILD PROBABLY DOES NOT HAVE THE LEVEL OR WHO HAS PUT FORCE IN THIS COURSE WITHOUT IT BEING THE CHILD'S CHOICE (which often happens) AND WHO HAS GIVES THE PENALTIES OF OPENING 3 GOOGLE ACCOUNTS (COUNTING ON THIS NOTICE ONLY, BY THE WAY) TO STUPIDLY TARDEN THIS MASTERY FOLLOWING THIS FAILURE. The institution is each year looking for new talents from all social backgrounds and beliefs, who will be able to stay there in a double school curriculum, which requires a little more seriousness and work than in a classic school curriculum but which is not insurmountable. After 2 years of pre-mastery, which corresponds to 1h30 lessons on Wednesdays, our 1st child (his brother follows the same path) joined the preparatory choir and his 16 hours of weekly lessons (20 hours from the children's choir, from September) per week with a change of school for the double course in flexible hours and we were stunned by the progress during the end-of-school-year concert. We are delighted to see her, her friends and her brother flourish in this Master's degree. You just have to go to a concert of the Maitrise or to a mass where they will be present like at vespers in St Germain l Auxerrois to realize the level. In summary, to recommend without hesitation if the child is motivated.

TO FLEE !!! If your child is happy to sing, if he loves music and is good about himself, run away from this "Mastery" he does unacceptable things, dangerous and well hidden with children, no security in the premises, incompetence of hysterical teachers barely older than children, the director invisible, sufficient and useless, when to the jaded choirmaster and verbal malice never seen elsewhere when to the "pedagogical manager" younger than the choristers, a disaster, inefficient .... schedules from 1:45 pm to 10 pm many weeks they go out late every night at 18h, half an hour for lunch, college difficulties because of the pace you do not you are not aware at the beginning and they apply methods not very Christian: favoritism, racial and social discrimination (they will be enough to you to go to listen on a Friday evening to note the lack of colors) bad treats verbal, negative competition. They do not take into account the fatigue of children and threatens you underneath the table of course if you dare to talk about it! TO FLEE !!! There are many other choirs and masters of very good level in Paris where our children can flourish, but this place run away!

This place is not a Maitrise, it is an association of the Diocese of Paris. In December 2018, a totally unknown man at the association requested information about my 12-year-old daughter from the educational manager who, without checking and without warning me, took the liberty of sending her the children's schedule. I only learned of the presence of this man from this manager when he showed up at the NDP cathedral to meet my daughter there. A complaint is in progress so that this type of incident does not happen again, which should normally be avoided by the vigilance of those who are responsible for the children on the time of presence in their association. Following this unfortunate episode and in front of my word without taboos, my daughter was dismissed without real valid reasons and without notice overnight. The positive points of this experience which only lasted a few months being the meeting with the teacher of Gregorian, Sylvain who is really excellent, very attentive and very benevolent. And of course for my daughter nice encounters with beautiful friendships I will end by quoting Erasmus “THE LESS TALENT THEY HAVE, THE MORE PRIDE, VANITY, ARROGANCE THEY HAVE.

A total scam!!! The management has no consideration for the children, they break them completely and ATTENTION to those who do not accept the slavery established in this control:) The supervisor insults the children, the management lies without qualms to camouflage all kinds of abuse and discrimination. No place for music or singing in this unsecured place by the way, place for militarism, abuse of power and big hypocritical smiles on KTO. Lots of weirdos and anyone infiltrating the premises. Immature staff for the most part with non-existent pedagogy. Seriously avoid ;)
