Audio Library Volume I
“Pulsation & Locomotion”
by Françoise Lombard
This material is intended to promote the learning of music through body movement, but it does not constitute a professional « music and movement » training. Therefore, its use does not authorise one to use the title of Dalcroze teacher. However, the experimentation of the Library could inspire and motivate a person to pursue a more advanced training of Jaques-Dalcroze Eurhythmics, with the option of obtaining, after several years of study, professional recognition.
