JAQUES-DALCROZE
- The certification curriculum divides into three levels;
- The Licence d'Enseignement curriculum encompasses two consecutive on-campus Semesters, 1 and 2.
- Only holders of the Professional Certificate are granted entrance into the license program. Throughout the on-campus sessions, students take intermediate and advanced courses in eurhythmics, solfége, and improvisation.
- License candidates have extensive practice teaching and plastique animèe experience through the Pedagogy and Plastique Animèe Practicums. The Improvisation course also requires a term paper plus four original musical compositions.
The Institute for Jaques-Dalcroze Education, LLC is owned by John Robert (Jack) Stevenson, Diplôme Supérieur Jaques-Dalcroze, an internationally recognized Jaques-Dalcroze pedagogue. Jack is also the program director, and Liang Mai Lin is the assistant director. The Institute provides authentic Jaques-Dalcroze teacher training for musicians and music educators.
The school sits on the grounds of the 108 acres of Monocacy Manor estate, bounded by Monocacy Creek, and nestled at the foothills of the Pocono Mountains on the outskirts of Bethlehem, PA. The natural beauty of the grounds and gentle creek flow provide an atmosphere ideal for learning.
The main teaching components of the Institute are the on-campus semester programs (Program A, Program B, Program C, and Program D) and the Intensive Dalcroze National Holidays workshops. All courses and programs provide an in-depth experience of the Jaques-Dalcroze approach: Eurhythmics, Solfège, Improvisation, Plastique Animée, Pedagogy, History, and Philosophy. These courses prepare the candidates for the three-tiered Professional Certification and the Licence d'Enseignement.
