Advanced Eurhythmics

Experience a Dalcroze education class from the 2012 National Conference.

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.

2023 Conference Keynote Speaker Mary Dobrea-Grindahl addresses the question "So who are we?"

Explore the natural rhythms that accompany movement: inspired by bodily motion, by spatial elements, or by moving in relation to others.

How can movement cultivate a more profound sense of musicality? This session examines how Dalcroze principles can enhance aesthetic education by deepening musicianship, refining intuition, and nurturing creativity. Experience firsthand how embodied strategies bring music to life.

In this workshop, Jack Stevenson guides students through quick reactions, dissociations, and canons to explore the sensation of duplets.
