Following another two-year study with Henri Büsser, Bozza again won the Premier Prix for his area. Bozza was hired as the conductor for the Ballets Russes of Monte Carlo where he stayed for only a year before returning the Paris Conservatoire for a third and final time in 1932 to study musical composition. His wife once confided that, 'In fact, he was haunted by stage fright.' Continuing his pattern of excellence, Bozza ended his study of conducting in 1931 by winning another Premier Prix, this time for conducting. After 5 years of touring Europe with the orchestra, Bozza resigned and returned to the Conservatoire to study conducting with Henri Rabaud. He married Juliette Arnaud, his first wife, in 1924 and had a son, Pierre, in 1925. After 2 years of work he earned the Conservatorie's Premier Prix for violin and secured the chair of concert master at L'orchestre Pasdeloup in 1925. Bozza then returned to France and enrolled in the Conservatoire de Paris in 1922 where he studied violin with Édouard Nadaud. He graduated in 1919 with a Professor of Violin diploma. After moving to Italy with his Father in 1915, Bozza studied violin, piano, and solfège in Rome at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.
