In this class students will have the opportunity to begin developing sensitivity to dynamics and other concepts such as phrasing. Providing valuable building blocks toward further music studies, Dalcroze introduces students to music reading, composition, conducting, and ensemble playing.

Conducted in person at the School at Columbia, the daily schedule will run from 9 a.m. through 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, July 10 – August 4. Learn more about why this change is happening this summer here!

What you will learn

Students are introduced to the music through storytelling, personal and physical experience. This is a hands on approach to music theory in which students can say, in Dalcroze’s own words, “I know, because I have experienced.”

Physical Experience

Students begin by sequentially feeling, identifying, vocalizing, and visualizing music, and may also apply these experiences to instruments.

Music Theory

The basic building concepts of music will be studied such as tempo, melody, rhythm patterns, phrase, and meter.

Make Friends

Students will develop socialization skills and create new friendships.

BECAUSE MUSIC MATTERS

MUSIC EDUCATION CHANGES LIVES

We provide access to music education to anyone who seeks it, regardless of economic status, ability, ethnicity, or religion, which has a profound impact on individual lives as well as on our entire community.

We offer Need-based financial assistance

Our goal is to make music education accessible and to remove the financial barrier that may prevent students from participating. Therefore, we offer need-based financial aid to as many students as possible.
