OUR MISSION
The Institute for Jaques-Dalcroze Education, LLC is a teaching institution where we explore, develop, and disseminate the philosophy and pedagogy of Emile Jaques-Dalcroze. Our principal function is to train future Jaques-Dalcroze educators through teacher-training programs, workshops, and master classes. We design space where students feel safe to move, sing, play, create, and generate thinking that pushes the approach beyond boundaries. The Institute seeks out collaboration with other Jaques-Dalcroze educators around the world and enlists their cooperation and council.
