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.
