DALCROZE LICENSE

Entitles the holder to teach adults at all levels

The Dalcroze License is awarded to Certificate-holders with Dalcroze teaching experience upon completion of Methods III (a two-semester course offered during the academic year), proof of professional attainment, and successful completion of the License portfolio and examinations. Required License coursework for students who have already earned the Dalcroze Certificate through Longy includes Methods III. For students who hold the Certificate from other institutions, the faculty will devise a program of required License coursework. One-year, full- or part-time License programs are available to qualified students.  The Dalcroze License may also be pursued through summer study alone at the discretion of the faculty. Summer License candidates must enroll in at least one Dalcroze Summer Institute for credit. Additional summers, taken for credit, may be required.
