Time: See Below
Who: 5 Months - 6 Years
Fee: $174.00
Location: The Concord Conservatory of Music
Instructors: Isabel Aybar, Haeeun Shih
The goal of our Dalcroze curriculum is to develop a lifelong love and understanding of music and to make it an integral part of the child's life. In Dalcroze Eurhythmics, the joy of moving the body fosters the learning of musical concepts such as beat, dynamics, durations, melodic direction, meter, form, and phrasing. Listening games and activities are designed to allow the students to "find" a concept in the music, for example, high/low pitches, faster/slower rhythm patterns, loud/soft tones.
Through movement activities, such as walking, running and galloping, children: experience beat, meter, and rhythm. As the year proceeds, children are able to describe their rhythmic movement, and, at older levels, are able to identify note values as well as effortlessly read and notate simple rhythms.
Specific ear training games allow the students to develop their inner hearing as well as their singing voices. When singing, they use their hands and arms to show the shape of the melody or phrase. Just as the walking and running movements help children feel and internalize rhythm, arm movements help children feel and internalize the relationships of pitches while tuning the voice and ear to each other.
