Aaron Butler: ‘Moving with 5’

NY Dalcroze Chapter is excited to announce our upcoming Workshop with Aaron Butler next Sunday afternoon!  Please join us for an afternoon of music and movement immersion in Five-Time:

“We will explore the nature and logic of music written in 5 by experiencing how it moves.  We will improvise patterns, sing, conduct, and investigate some examples of this rare meter in the literature — including a surprising instance by Chopin and the ever popular “Canon in the Round” by our own Anne Farber.  5-time is often characterized as needing to divide into two-plus-three, or three-plus-two, but Dalcroze experience proves it can be just as natural and intuitive as 4-time and 3-time.”

Registration will begin at 12:30, with the 2-hour workshop beginning at 1pm.  We hope to see you there!

All regular workshops are $20 for members of the Dalcroze Society of America, $40 for non-members. Student rates are $10 for members of the DSA, $20 for non-members. Please show a valid Student ID.
