The admission exam will take place on Monday, October 6, 2025, either on-site in Milan or online, to meet the high demand from prospective students.

Admission to all First- and Second-Level Academic Diploma programs involves:

• Registration for the exam – you can view the registration procedure HERE

• Taking the admission tests

• Enrollment and matriculation of successful candidates

• A basic skills assessment test for applicants who do not hold a First-Level Academic Diploma in Popular Music

The admission test is designed to assess the candidate’s instrumental skills, technical knowledge, and musical maturity; failure to pass it precludes access to the program.

The second test – the basic skills assessment – verifies theoretical knowledge and general musical culture. Candidates who do not pass may still enroll but will incur a theoretical subject credit that must be cleared by the winter exam session.

Consult the exam program details for the Academic Courses.

Our performance-based instrument programs provide a comprehensive and practical education designed for the future and for the professional music world. A modern pathway, always aligned with the industry’s needs, guided by an outstanding Faculty and cutting-edge curricula that integrate art, technique, and professional vision.

The First-Level Academic Diploma is equivalent to a Bachelor’s Degree (Ministerial Decree No. 279 of 16/05/2017), while the Second-Level Academic Diploma corresponds to a Master’s Degree (Ministerial Decree No. 474 of 27/05/2022).

For over 40 years, CPM – founded and chaired by Franco Mussida – has been a benchmark for training the best musicians, songwriters, performers, and professionals in the Italian music scene.
Not just a school, but a home and a talent hub where you can grow, challenge yourself, and build your artistic career day by day.
