Welcome to the internationally recognized Longy Dalcroze Summer Institute!
Dalcroze Summer Institute
Dalcroze Summer Institute
2019 Registration Closed
Students from around the world receive their Dalcroze education through this Institute. Graduates return to their countries to become leaders in the field of Dalcroze Eurhythmics.
Each year, we enjoy a wonderful three weeks of music making. You learn that the whole body is musical and grows in countless ways as a performer, composer, or teacher. The Summer Institute offers a rich variety of activities. In all classes, music is central and listening is active.
All questions are welcome during the Institute and information is provided about the process of attaining the levels toward Dalcroze Certification.
I hope you are intrigued and ready to join us!
– Lisa Parker, Director Emeritus
Dalcroze Eurhythmics uses rhythmic movement, intense listening, and improvisation to unlock creativity and open the doors to enriched and enlivened music making. Equally applicable to the music classroom and the private studio, to the beginning musician and the advanced performer, this holistic approach to musical understanding complements traditional avenues of study and practice.
The Longy Dalcroze Summer Institute is designed for all musicians!
We welcome music instructors, instrumentalists, singers, conductors, composers, music students, music therapists, as well as actors and dancers.
The Institute includes Certificate Level Pedagogy classes, Eurhythmics, Solfege and Keyboard Improvisation classes.
All classes are grouped according to level.
