Beginning Solfège

In this children's demo class, Ruth Alperson teaches musical concepts through movement and singing. Students learn musical phrases by moving and singing them, and then they notate them.

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.
