Children's Demonstration Class
With Dr. Jeremy Dittus, Diplôme Supérieur
Recorded January 18, 2020
Come see what 7+ years of Dalcroze Training can accomplish in young people! During this demonstration class, Rhythmic-Solfège V and Advanced Placement students from the Dalcroze School of the Rockies will demonstrate a variety of Eurhythmics and Solfège activities from their courses in Denver, Colorado, along with a few surprises along the way.
Students range in age from 11-14; they are thrilled to share what they’ve learned at the DSA National Conference.

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.
