TESTIMONIALS

DALCROZE COURSE STANDING STUDENTS

Dr. Parente had come to one of our intro to music education classes and he conducted a Dalcroze method workshop. Learning about Dalcroze and getting to experience what the method is like in real life was amazing. I noticed that it kept me and my colleagues engaged and energized. Learning from Dr. Parente was fantastic and Im glad I got the chance to work with him. He knew how to keep the students interested. I had a blast in this workshop and I will definitely be thinking about the Dalcroze method as a teaching method in the future.

Dalcroze class was very engaging and interactive. It helped give me a new perspective on how Dalcroze is taught and how it could be useful in the classroom. Dr. Parente made the Dalcroze class super interesting and did a great job of showing us how we can use Dalcroze methodology in our classrooms in the future
