"Dalcroze Essentials: Solfège"
A three-session short course with Gregory Ristow (USA)
Upcoming VDM Events
[three 80-minute sessions]
Dancing with Bach. In this solfège short course, we’ll use movements from Baroque dance, and music from Bach’s sublime French Suite #2, to immerse ourselves in the style of the late Baroque. We’ll start filling our own zibaldones (a composer’s notebook) with melodic and harmonic figures of speech that we can ornament, elaborate and recombine to create our own music in the style of Bach.
