DALCROZEMOVES SUMMER SCHOOL 2026
The second Dalcrozemoves Summer School was held in July 2026 at the Ealing Centre in West London. The international guest teacher was Jerison Harper-Lee, a Dalcroze teacher from Singapore who currently lives and works in Penang, Malaysia and whose fun and playful teaching was loved by everyone. As one participant commented he was able to teach some difficult concepts without us knowing! The other guest tutors were Mary Price-O’Connor and Anita Memmott. Mary taught Creative Movement sessions which proved we are all creative and Anita gave an inspirational presentation on how to integrate Dalcroze principles when teaching Music in the primary school classroom.
Here are some comments from those who attended.
Kaye and all the tutors not only gave us such practical ideas and activities to go away and adapt to our own settings, but also created a supporting and inspiring space to have fun, ‘correct’ and feel energised! SH
I did not think I would come away with such a treasure trove full of rich ideas to use in my teaching after only three days. CE
Dalcrozemoves was 3 days of incredible learning, growth and fun! I would highly recommend to teachers and musicians alike. ST
Dalcroze Eurhythmics has enhanced my perception and understanding of music in all its shapes and forms. This 3 day course was a joy from start to finish. SC
