He then attended the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston where he received a Bachelor of Music in 1941. Papineau-Couture studied with Nadia Boulanger at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Returning to Quebec, Papineau-Couture's teaching career started in 1946 when he joined the faculty of the Conservatoire de musique du Québec à Montréal where he stayed until 1962. Papineau-Couture also taught in the Faculty of Music at the Université de Montréal. He was named vice-dean in 1967 and dean from 1968-1973.
