Conference Welcome and Keynote Address
With Mary Dobrea-Grindahl, Diplôme Supérieur
Recorded January 13, 2023
Émile Jaques-Dalcroze said, “We cannot teach what we wish; we cannot teach what we know; we can only teach who we are.”
Together, let’s explore the idea of who we are, and, perhaps more importantly, who we—the present and future members of the Dalcroze Society of America—want to be. Let’s be together, work together, and play together!

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.
