Developments in Performance Science Research: How Can We Better Equip and Support our Industry?
Thursday 23rd February 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)

This presentation will review the latest developments in the field of performance science to examine how musicians can equip themselves with skills to excel.

Dalcroze Eurhythmics in the Voice Studio
Dr Tish Oney
The Dalcroze Method taught by Swiss music teacher Émile Jaques-Dalcroze (1865-1950) has long been valued as a tool for teaching music in group settings (ensembles, choirs, music classes, etc.) But what about its one-on-one use in the applied voice studio? Join Dr. Tish Oney for this interactive short course and learn about the history and principles of this important method of music education.
