Fee: $189 (10 wks)
Location: Concord Conservatory of Music
Instructors: Isabel Aybar, Shoko Hino, Haeeun Shin
This class is offered in various sessions, for ages 5 months to 6 years. The goal of our Dalcroze curriculum is to develop a lifelong love and understanding of music. In Dalcroze Eurhythmics, the joy of body movement fosters the learning of beat, dynamics, durations, melodic direction, meter, form, and phrasing. Listening games and activities are designed for students to “find” a concept in the music, for example, high/low pitches, faster/slower rhythm patterns, loud/soft tones. Walking, running and galloping, children: experience beat, meter, and rhythm.~ As the year proceeds, they are able to describe their rhythmic movement and, at older levels, are able to identify note values as well as read and notate simple rhythms.~ Ear-training games allow them to develop their 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 walking and running help to internalize rhythm, arm movements help children feel and internalize the relationships of pitches while tuning the voice and ear to each other.~~For more information go to www.ConcordConservatory.org Class sections based on the child's age as of dateMonth9Day1Year2009September 1, 2009.
