Dalcroze Musicianship Classes
Powerful, Interactive, & Dynamic Music Education

Integral Steps offers integrative education programming for children, teens, and adults. We foster balanced development by integrating physical, cognitive, and social-emotional learning. 

Dalcroze music education is prominent in many of our programs. It is a teaching and learning philosophy with over a hundred-year history and widely practiced throughout the world. Through movement, social interaction, and improvisation, Dalcroze education provides comprehensive musicianship training which deepens and supports instrumental or vocal training. 

In Dalcroze classes at Integral Steps, we intentionally balance the three centers of learning:

• Physical: the expression of music through the body, the mind-body connection, physical coordination necessary for musical and expressive performance
• Cognitive: musical analysis, critical thinking, and discriminatory listening skills
• Social-Emotional: self-regulation and interpersonal skills to help our students thrive as learners and citizens

This 5-minute video shows highlights of a demonstration class featuring students from one of our partner organizations, The Dalcroze School of the Rockies.

This class was given at the 2020 Dalcroze Society of America Conference. The students in the video are 11-13 years old and have multiple years of experience in the Rhythmic-Solfège sequence. 


Dalcroze Classes during Covid 19
Integral Steps is currently offering its Dalcroze classes via live Zoom call. Because the principles of Dalcroze education include movement and active listening, they lend themselves particularly well to synchronous online learning. Our teachers have over ten years of experience teaching online and we have been teaching exclusively in this format since March 2020. We are engaged in continuous professional development to make our Zoom teaching engaging, interactive, and effective. We will discuss in-person or hybrid teaching in Fall 2020 on a case-by-case basis.
