SUMMARY:Discover Dalcroze Day - Warwick
DESCRIPTION:Discover the joy of music through movement! Join us for a Discover Dalcroze Day and experience music in a whole new way. Whether you’re a musician\, dancer\, or just curious\, everyone is welcome! \nDalcroze UK invites you to join in a fantastic\, complimentary day of discovery into Dalcroze Eurhythmics on Saturday\, 25th October 2025 at the modern\, beautiful\, and acoustically designed Rosconn Auditorium at the Warwick School\, Myton Rd\, Warwick CV34 6PP \nThe event is free to attend! \nWhether you are a teacher with students\, a musician\, or a performer\, Dalcroze Eurhythmics aims to provide you with an experience of how it can help you develop a deeper connection and understanding of music by engaging with it directly through the body. \nDalcroze is beneficial and transformative for all kinds of people\, including children\, students\, adults\, seniors\, musicians\, teachers\, dancers\, performers\, and actors. It is an effective and joyful way to learn music.

SUMMARY:Taster Day - Leeds Conservatoire
DESCRIPTION:Dalcroze Eurhythmics is an approach to teaching musicianship which was developed by Émile Jaques-Dalcroze in the latter part of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. Students learn together in a class setting\, through a combination of individual tasks\, pair and group work. It is an approach which can be used in the teaching of very small children\, and also has much to offer music professionals. \n\nParticipants will experience the three main branches of: \nRhythmics     Experiencing music through movement. Musical phrase and rhythm become something physical\, dynamic\, and memorable. \nAural Training   Exploring what music feels like\, linking listening with perception involving the whole body. \nSolfa   Giving singing names (do – re – mi …) to notes within the scale\, in order to develop a sense of their relationship to one another\, and build foundations upon which to teach harmony. \nImprovisation  Exploring communication through music. Playing and singing with the aim of encouraging a response in movement \nWe will also explore some ways in which Dalcroze Eurhythmics can be applied in the teaching of young instrumentalists and singers. \n\nDalcroze Eurhythmics is taught at a number of junior conservatoires and specialist youth music schemes in the UK\, including Yorkshire Young Musicians (YYM) in the Yorkshire region. Dalcroze has the capacity to promote freedom of movement\, expression and imagination in children’s singing and instrumental playing. Classes aim to develop children’s confidence in their own ideas\, their musical memory\, their ability to listen attentively and perceptively\, and their ability to work with others. Today’s tutors all teach Dalcroze on the YYM programme in Leeds and Hull. \n\nYour Teachers\n\nAlison Wise MA (Hons)\, MA\, PGCE\, Dalcroze Professional Certificate\n\nAlison grew up in West Yorkshire\, and studied music at St John’s College\, Cambridge and Durham University. Whilst working as a peripatetic instrumental teacher\, Alison took part in a couple of Dalcroze workshops\, where she was struck by the creativity and intuitive nature of the Dalcroze approach to music teaching. This led her to study for the Dalcroze Professional Certificate through evening classes at the Royal Northern College of Music. Alison enjoys making music with young people of all ages. She teaches Dalcroze Eurhythmics at Yorkshire Young Musicians’ Hull centre\, and is music teacher for Coram House\, the Junior school at Ackworth School\, Pontefract. Alison also continues to enjoy teaching cello and piano\, and is currently studying for an advanced qualification in Dalcroze Eurhythmics\, the Dalcroze Licence. \n\n\n  \nSophie Thiruchelvam BA (Hons)\, Dalcroze Professional Certificate\n\n\nSophie has been working in Leeds as a peripatetic singing teacher and workshop facilitator since 2004.In her working week she teaches people from the ages of 6 months to 60+ and loves seeing the positive effect music has for her students. She teaches Dalcroze at Yorkshire young musicians\, sharing the role with Aileen and collaborating with Alison for project days for the students. Her Dalcroze journey began in 2006 and it was an instant connection for her. She has seen the benefits of the approach in her teaching and for herself as a musician\, she gained her certificate in 2016 and hopes the day will be the start of someone else’s exciting Dalcroze journey. \n\n\n  \n  \n\nAileen Williams BMus (Hons)\, PGCE with specialist strings training\, Dalcroze Professional Certificate\n\nAileen is a strings teacher and has worked with Bolton Music Service since 2001\, delivering group and individual strings lessons\, wider opportunities lessons\, and leading and tutoring youth strings groups and orchestras of all levels and ages. She studied music at the University of Manchester and went on to complete a PGCE with specialist strings training at the Royal Northern College of Music and the Manchester Metropolitan University. This was where she first encountered Dalcroze Eurythmics and found that it had a huge impact on how she taught\, played and experienced music. In 2016 she was fortunate to complete her Certificate in Dalcroze and since then has used it more actively within her strings teaching.

SUMMARY:Dalcroze Taster Day - Limerick
DESCRIPTION:Includes: Refreshments (Tea/Coffee)\nPlease bring your own lunch! \nDalcroze Eurhythmics is a method of music education that was created by Jacques Dalcroze in the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century. It can be described as music through movement. \nIt remains relevant today as a pedagogical approach and has been adapted to the requirements of modern educational principles. It lends itself very favourably to the child’s natural instinct to move and explore the world through many senses. \nIt is also used in many contexts including Early years Music Education\, Music with Seniors\, Music for Children and Adults with additional learning needs\, Music Therapy and also\, in the training of dancers and actors. \n\nThere are three core areas which are developed in all Dalcroze training. These are: \nRHYTHMICS\nThe physical embodiment of music. \nIMPROVISATION\nA way for students to explore and express musical and other artistic concepts\, thereby liberating their creativity and gaining an understanding of a range of musical processes \nSOLFEGE\nDevelopment of Aural training and inner hearing through movement (pitch\, rhythm\, phrasing and form) \nThe taster day invites you to experience Dalcroze Rhythmics\, Improvisation and Solfege classes for yourself. \n\nYOUR TEACHER\n\nDiane is a violinist and chamber musician. She has been a member of the Irish Chamber Orchestra since 1998 and has toured the world with many prestigious ensembles including the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.
