Dalcroze Summer Course

Every summer the Music Education division hosts multiple programs for professionals, students, and community members to grow and improve their skills.

Dalcroze Eurhythmics, created by Émile Jaques-Dalcroze, is a music education approach that integrates movement, ear training, and improvisation to develop imagination, coordination, and expression. Dalcroze consists of three core branches: Eurhythmics (embodying rhythm and dynamics), Solfège (developing pitch and harmonic sensitivity), and Improvisation (creative response through movement, voice, or instrument). Designed for music teachers and musicians, the program also benefits dancers, therapists, and actors. As one of few U.S. programs of its kind, Dalcroze at the University of Kentucky meets a growing regional and international demand. We welcome participants of all musical backgrounds.
