FEATURES
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
The newly expanded 2020 Summer Semester dates are June 15 through July 11. The Summer Semester has broadened from a three-week semester to a four-week semester, which allows for a restructuring of our current curriculum. Beginning Summer 2020, Level One and Two will be offered simultaneously in the first half of the semester as always. This portion of the semester is our Program A, held June 15 - 27, 2020. The second half of the semester, Program B, held June 28 - July 11, will cover the existing Level III curriculum. This additional week allows for broader experiences, more opportunity to develop skill, and more time for private practice.
Each part of the Certificate program requires a minimum of two weeks of summer classes at the Institute for Jaques-Dalcroze Education, LLC. Since each Summer semester takes place over a four-week period, completion of all three Certification levels requires a minimum of two Summer Semesters but, three summers is the norm. The Levels are taken consecutively and if necessary each level may be repeated twice.
Candidates must pass the Level One qualification examinations to officially enter the training program.
Requirements for Professional Certification:
- Candidates must hold Level Two Certification or its equivalent.
- Candidates must hold a bachelor's degree in music education or music performance.
- Candidates must have at least two years of teaching experience (private studio or music classroom).
SPECIAL NOTES
- The complete set of exams for Level One and Level Two certification are offered in Program A on the final Friday. The exams include Eurhythmics, Plastique, Pedagogy, Solfège, and Piano Improvisation. Students who practice teach must achieve two passes (out of the three attempts) for their exam lessons throughout the two weeks. No video tapes are accepted.
- Private interviews with the director and faculty are scheduled for Saturday mornings after breakfast.
