After a long experience of teaching music in all grades of compulsory and post-compulsory schooling, I decided to devote myself to the training of future teachers.

In the musical field, I am particularly interested in vocal technique, choral singing and the history of music related to the arts. At the level of didactic training, I wish to promote the link between music education and other disciplines as well as an interdisciplinary approach to the arts based on creativity. The internationalization of teacher education is another area of ​​my interest.

In order to exchange ideas and research on music education and teacher education with my colleagues from other countries, I am part of an interest group within the International Society of Music Education (ISME - SIGPRIME) and participates in the PEERS program of HEP VAUD. I am a member of the European Association for Music at School (EAS).

At the Swiss level, I participate in the development of a skills network for cultural mediation (Kompetenznetzwerk Musikvermittlung Schweiz).

Graduated from the Cantonal School of Art in Lausanne and the Secondary Education Seminary, I have always practiced visual arts.

I taught them to many students from the initial cycle to post-compulsory schooling between 1989 and 2013. Currently, I lead and practice an artistic workshop, and I work as Associate Professor HEP in the Teaching and Research Unit Art and Technology of the HEP Vaud. I intervene in the courses of generalist students and specialist students. I developed a practice of cultural mediation in school and I maintain a lively reflection on the links between cultural references and the conduct of creation.

After completing my first two years at the Villa Arson in Nice, I obtained a Master of Visual Arts at ENSAPC (National School of Art Paris-Cergy). I have been involved in various specialist teaching positions in AVI both in Secondary I and in Secondary II. In parallel, I continued my personal research as an artist and realized several exhibitions in Switzerland and in Europe. 
Since 2014, I joined the EBU team didactics of art and technology of the Haute Ecole Pédagogique du canton vaud as a lecturer and researcher. I intervene particularly in BP (generalist) as a module manager. I present in collaboration with Florence Quinche (UER MITIC) an interdisciplinary workshop on the digital book and in collaboration with Joel Boucheteil, a course (for specialists) on the codes of representation of the world through data visualization.

Arrested, very young, by the discovery of Master of French, without benefit of clarifications on the foundations of the teaching of the new French, I undertake studies of linguistics, which will open to me the access to the theories then to the philosophy of language and to reveal a permanent concern to enlighten what on the basis of constructions of thought, cultural practices and teachers, actions, theories. I begin at the same time in the study of various artistic expressions, literary, musical. Nurtured by artistic practices of creation and reception, as well as pedagogical and didactic questions, I seek to overcome the sharing of artistic genres and to characterize the way in which the various artistic expressions place under stress the language demands that weigh on them and open up various possibilities of aesthetic relationship.

I graduated from the Ecole Normale Supérieure, doctor of the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, lecturer at the School of Design and Higher School of Art of Valais, in charge of the teaching of Romans in didactics of art and art history, associate member of the Creation and Research Laboratory in Arts and Technology Education, as well as coordinator of a research team of the art and technology axis within the Center for Romandian competences of disciplinary didactics.

In my teachings and activities "art", I seek to accompany an artistic praxis through the reconstruction of interdisciplinary situations, so as to locate artistic specificities by restoring them an effectiveness. In my teaching and didactic activities, I focus on the epistemology of history, theories and the teaching of art in relation to current artistic practices and aesthetic uses.

Using notions of mediation, context, didactic and pragmatic situations, renaturalization, metapictoriality, frontality and materiality, I try to subtract art and its languages ​​from their social appearance, to support in and through them the possibility of subjective expression and emancipation.

Christine Esclapez is Professor of Universities at Aix-Marseille University, Music and Musicology sector. She is a member of the PRISM research unit (UMR 7061) and responsible for axis 2 "Creations, Practices and Artistic Explorations". His lines of research are currently oriented in four main directions:
-Musicology and interdisciplinarity: development of an interdisciplinary research network in the field of Musical Language Sciences (notably the interaction between phenomenology, semiotics and hermeneutics of music and the arts and, more recently, the development of a semio ethics in music and musicology).
-The writing of history and the question of forgetting: reissue of texts of the twentieth century in Aesthetics of music.
-Musicology and hermeneutics: interpretation, rewriting and creation.
-Research-creation in music and musicology: epistemology of research and creation practices.
