Games and Songs in Five
With Anthony Molinaro, Dalcroze Certificate
Recorded June 6, 2024
Conventional wisdom holds that meters of five are somehow inherently more difficult than meters of two, three, four, or six. In this session, participants will experience a series of games and songs that connect young children to uneven meters and encourage them to groove naturally with these patterns!

The Tempo of You
With Stephen Neely (2024)
Duration: 1:16:49
Members Only Resource
In this 75-minute collaboration, we will explore the idea of a personal inner tempo and then consider the challenge of “being music” that is at tempos more-than and less-than our authentic selves. How am I to feel the reality of another? With examples from Bach, La Bottine Souriante, and Satie, we will consider the difference between playing the notes of and being the music of another.
