2026 National Conference Becoming Music,
Embodying Change

Five Towns College, Dix Hills, NY • June 12–14, 2026

Explore music and movement over three days of introductory and advanced sessions in Dalcroze eurhythmics, solfège, improvisation, and more.

The theme “Becoming Music, Embodying Change” celebrates the power of intention, creativity, and dynamic learning in Dalcroze Education—how teaching, movement, and music can be deeply meaningful when guided by clear purpose. This theme emphasizes how, by becoming rhythm, melody, and harmony, we not only deepen our own expression but also enrich our communities. Through the Dalcroze practice, music and movement create spaces that facilitate belonging and inspire change.
