[edit] History
[edit] Origins
The origins of the Paris Conservatoire are to be found in the Ecole Royale de Chant established by the composer Gossec in 1784. In 1793 this was combined with a school for musicians of the National Guard, and named the Institut Nationale de Musique. In 1795 the National Convention founded it as the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique, and the Conservatoire's first 350 pupils commenced in October 1796.
