The Institute for Jaques-Dalcroze Education, LLC

An Introduction

The Institute for Jaques-Dalcroze Education, LLC is owned and operated by Monica Dale and Jack Stevenson, two internationally recognized Jaques-Dalcroze pedagogues. The main teaching component of the Institute is the itinerant summer program held at various locations around the United States. The program provides hands-on experience of the Jaques-Dalcroze method: Eurhythmics, Solfege, and Improvisation, as well as Jaques-Dalcroze pedagogy and philosophy, and prepares candidates for the examinations, which leads to the Jaques-Dalcroze Teaching Certificate.

Certification is achieved by completing a four-module series of course work or its equivalent and examinations in the Core Subjects and Pedagogy. (Please see Jaques-Dalcroze Certification.) The Jaques-Dalcroze Teaching License examinations may be granted to individuals who have completed the Jaques-Dalcroze Certificate and an academic year residency with Jack Stevenson and Monica Dale.

For the coming academic year (2010-2011) the Institute For Jaques-Dalcroze Education will establish residency in the Baltimore-Washington, DC area. We are currently in negotiation with several insitutionns where we can establish a home base and hopefully grow a perminent program. This course is for students who may be working toward the Dalcroze Certificate or License, revisiting the method to refresh skills, or simply experiencing the joy of the method.

For each semester, the course will meet for twelve class days with four hours of instruction each day. The course is slated to be held on Tuesday mornings. (see schedule 2010-2011) Tuition and registration information will be available by September 1, 2010.

Individuals interested in this program are asked to contact Jack or Monica as soon as possible.
