Dalcroze Essentials: Improvisation with Françoise Lombard (Canada)
Dalcroze Essentials: Improvisation
A three-session short course with Françoise Lombard (Canada)
[three 80-minute sessions]
Upcoming VDM Events
Wherever you are on your Dalcroze journey, this short course will help you work on improvisation for movement. It will be tailored to what the students need and want to work on. The short course will help enhance and open up your improvisation and deepen your practice. It will also be very pragmatic, sharing easy tools which are immediately applicable.
The first session will focus on single-line melodies on any instrument. The second session will be about improvising in 2 voices on the piano, with support from Francoise for those who don’t feel as comfortable on the piano. In the third session we might explore 3 voices or other approaches. Please bring your instruments, and if you are a non-pianist, try to be in a room with a piano.
