Dalcroze Course GUIDO GAVAZZI Listening to and understanding music through movement 28.07/01.08 2021

The masterclass

During these five days, participants will have the opportunity to get to know and above all to experience Dalcroze, one of the main historical methods of teaching, which has revolutionised the entire pedagogical world. It is a way of teaching music, through music, and through it going beyond. It develops not only a person's musical and artistic abilities, but also their expressive, emotional, relational and social skills.

Casa San Michele di Giulia Pastorino Via A. Gramsci, 11 Montaldeo 15060 AL - P.IVA 02568410068 - www.cdmsanmichele.com The idea of the course is to work on a double aspect: to provide elements that can enrich one's relationship with music and at the same time suggest strategies for teaching, in a new and always engaging way. Perhaps Émile Jaques-Dalcroze's most important insight was that body movement is one of the most effective instruments for conveying musical concepts. The work will therefore be extremely practical: we will play, sing and above all work with the body. The course will be based on the main subjects of the method: rhythm, improvisation (body, vocal and instrumental), solfeggio and pedagogy.
