 Marston - Marcel Journet
There is so little known about the Paris Conservatory, and therefore so much misinformation and general mystique abound in what literature we have, that this seems to be a reasonable venue to set some matters straight.
From the information we have, it would appear that Journet was probably admitted to the Paris Conservatory, left the institution and continued to study privately with someone named Seghettini, a beginning almost parallel to that of Lucien Muratore.
During his Paris years, Journet performed at the grands concerts: at the Concerts du Conservatoire, in 1909 in Bach’s Saint John Passion with David Devriès and Charlotte Mellot-Joubert; in 1911 in Handel’s Israel in Egypt with Yvonne Gall and Ketty Lapeyrette; and in 1912 in Berlioz’s L’Enfance du Christ with Auguez de Montalant under Messager.

 José Silvestre White, Afro-Cuban Composer, Violinist & Professor
White's earliest association with the city of Paris dates from about 1855, when he was admitted to the Paris Conservatory as a student, following an audition with sixty rival candidates and the unanimous recommendation of his faculty jurors (Trotter [1878] 1986, 225).
At the conservatory he studied violin with Jean-Delphin Alard, the pre-eminent master of the French school of violin playing; harmony, and presumably composition, with composer Henri Reber (1807-1880); and counterpoint and fugue with Ferdinand Taite (Argote 1953, 88).
Although many other details about White's years at the conservatory are fragmentary, there exists evidence that he developed strong ties with members of the musical community in Paris and cultivated friendships that would later serve him well during the 1860s and 1870s when he began to concertize professionally.
