The CMNE covers the whole canton and offers music education to Neuchâtel residents aged between 3 and 99. Its priority mission is the amateur and pre-professional teaching of music, but also the development of general musical culture in the canton, in accordance with article 2 of the Law on the Neuchâtel Conservatory of Music (LCMN).

Every year, the CMNE offers more than 200 class auditions and more than 100 performances, ranging from concerts by orchestras outside the walls to accompanying a choir or leading a private or political ceremony. The music-school department of the CMNE is responsible for energizing music in the school and supporting teachers in their teaching methods.
