Music is more than just "right" notes
Old question:
If playing the right notes is not enough, what is it that musicians must bring to the music to bring the music to life in the most powerful and evocative ways - and how do we learn that?
New answer:
By using the body as an instrument and expressing music through purposeful movement, we can develop a powerful, experiential knowledge of musical concepts. By applying this knowledge to performance, reading, writing and listening, our music gains vitality.
This is the core of Dalcroze Education, a powerful experiential approach to heightening musical vibrancy through purposeful movement.
In this master class, students gain a first hand experience of Dalcroze Education. Students engage in typical Dalcroze activities and explore some of the pedagogy, principles and teaching strategies for this joyful approach.
Come prepared to move. No previous experience is necessary.
