Raphaël Collard, young pianist of 18 years old, quickly discovers a real passion for music and particularly for the music of Chopin. At 12 years old, he enters the specialized piano cycle then joins Hélène Desmoulin's class at the CRR of Angers. In 2022, he obtains his DEM in Angers in Piano and Musical Training. The following year, he is admitted at 16 years old to the CNSMDP. He studies in the class of Florent Boffard and Tanguy de Williencourt. He follows the curriculum in accompaniment, chamber music and pedagogy. Currently, it is with Claire Désert and Romano Pallotini that he studies piano at the CNSMDP, accompaniment with Géraldine Dutroncy, and chamber music with Itamar Golan as well as François Salque. He is introduced to composition, keyboard harmonization, dramatic art but also jazz. Since 2024, he has benefited from a partnership and financial support from the city of Les Sables d'Olonne which allows him to finance his studies at the CNSMDP. The same year, he won the Prix de Piano Bourgeois awarded to him by the Fondation Drouet-Bourgeois as part of his studies at the CNSMDP. In 2025 he is winner of the Audience Prize at the Pierre Barbizet International Piano Competition organized by the Société Marseillaise des Amis de Chopin in Marseille.
