Dalcroze Eurhythmics Classes

“The stronger the muscular sensation, the clearer and more precise the image.”
“The acuteness of our musical feelings will depend on the acuteness of our bodily sensations.”
Emile Jacques-Dalcroze

 

Experience music through the invigorating, fun, and interactive Swiss Dalcroze method. Dalcroze classes offer the wonderful opportunity to explore and master musical skills through your entire body. Dalcroze classes are filled with fun games that develop acute listening, concentration, memory, and social interaction through responding to music through movement. We internalize all aspects of rhythm, pitch, dynamics, expression, nuance, phrasing and form through movement. Dalcroze is a hands-on approach to music theory and covers all musical skills required to understand and perform music both accurately and expressively. Participants learn through rhythm games, singing, improvisation, dictation, and creative movement.

The Dalcroze method develops musical from an introduction for young children all the way through conservatory and professional level musicianship skills. Dalcroze is ideal both as a precussor to individual musical lessons on any instrument or voice and as a complement to individual lessons.

Dalcroze classes at Ballance Talent Education are available for all ages and abilities, from very young children through high school and advanced adult musicians.

Dalcroze classes are a central part of the Ballance Talent Education curriculum and take place during the weekly group classes.

Dalcroze classes are taught by Dr. Jared Ballance, who holds the internationally recognized Dalcroze Eurhythmics License and a MA in Music Theory Pedgagoy.

Please contact Dr. Ballance to find the Dalcroze class that best fits you.
