The Dalcroze Lab Returns!

Author
Posted June 8, 2025

Have you ever watched a DALCROZE LAB? This is a virtual forum provided by the Dalcroze Society of America for educators to explore Dalcroze Education. It offers both live seminars and on-demand recordings of past presentations. These resources allow participants to delve into the principles, pedagogy, and techniques of Dalcroze education, including workshops, Q&A sessions, and study discussions.

In addition to the seminar and Q&A with master teachers, many DALCROZE LABs also give you access to video from in-person workshops and study guides featuring musical examples and activity descriptions.

The DSA is proud to host its first DALCROZE LAB of 2025 on Saturday, May 31 with master teacher Françoise Lombard. Participants can either stream the event (7:00-8:30p ET) or watch asynchronously on their own time.

In her session, Françoise Lombard (diplômé) will explore how to meaningfully connect music, movement, and pedagogy using recorded music. Participants will learn how to select and integrate recorded musical examples with attention to dynamics, articulation, phrasing, and musical cues—all within a Dalcrozian approach that supports responsive and embodied learning.

Additionally, selected recordings of past DALCROZE LAB presentations are available in the Dalcroze USA Online Store.

We hope you can join us for this meaningful event!
