We are proud to count among our past presenters: William Starr, John Kendall, Ronda Cole, Sarah Hersh, Marilyn Kesler, Doris Koppelman, Doris Harrel, Paul Wirth, Barbara Barber, Barbara Rubenstein, Nancy Lokken, Randy Sabien, Thomas Wermuth, Doris Preucil, Kathy Wood, Brian Lewis, Mary Sheedy Kurcinka, Michele Horner and Teri Einfeldt.
FEATURED WORKSHOP CLINICIAN
Dr. Jeremy Dittus – Dalcroze Eurythmics
Dalcroze Education is a unique, exciting, and powerful way of knowing music through the body. The Dalcroze approach explores musical concepts through social and interactive methods that invite the students to trust their ideas and develop their own intuitions. Eurhythmics courses nurture the imagination and unlock creativity through rhythmic movement and active listening. Solfège plays a key role in training the eyes and ears to instantly respond to musical notation. Improvisation engages the spirit of play to facilitate enlivened music making according to the student’s own invention: in movement, with the voice, or at an instrument.
Dalcroze study makes music vivid for everyone, from young beginners through adult professionals. Emile Jaques-Dalcroze, a Swiss pianist, composer, and educator, created his method of teaching advanced conservatory students using “rhythmic gymnastics” early in the Twentieth century. Later, he developed these principles for children and young adults. In a typical Dalcroze class, the instructor will combine the elements above using rhythm games, songs, gesture, and movement as the key teaching media so that the joy of music is experienced and understood. As a precursor to or in tandem with private music lessons, Dalcroze Eurhythmics will create a platform for accelerated and deep learning in all musicians. Read More…
FEATURED WORKSHOP LECTURER
Professor Mark Bjork – Violin and Pedagogy
Mark Bjork, Professor of Violin and Pedagogy at the University of Minnesota School of Music is a graduate of Indiana University where he studied violin under the renowned pedagogue Josef Gingold, and chamber music with David Dawson, Harry Farbman, and Janos Starker. Deeply committed to the study and performance of chamber music, he performed more than forty works with the LaSalle Trio in an annual concert series as well as in radio, TV, and tour performances. Mr. Bjork is recognized internationally as a leader in the field of Suzuki Talent Education. In 1967 he started one of the first Suzuki programs in the United States at the MacPhail Center For The Arts, which was part of the University of Minnesota at the time. Workshops, masterclasses and clinics, often related to Suzuki Talent Education, have taken him throughout the U.S., Canada, South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, and Japan. His former students include concertmasters, chamber music performers, and teachers. Bjork is the author of, “Expanding Horizons: the Suzuki Trained Violinist Grows Up.” Read More…
