The Dalcroze USA Resource Library is Live
I’m thrilled to officially “open the doors” to the new Dalcroze USA website—and with it, the Resource Library, our community’s shared home for teaching ideas, history, and inspiration.
This is the largest and most trusted online collection of Dalcroze eurhythmics and music-and-movement materials in the world. Starting today, members can explore over 300 lesson plans, videos, articles, journals, and more—all in one place.
For decades, our community has preserved this knowledge in personal collections, hard drives, and scattered files—from newsletters in the 1970s and 80s, to raw conference footage, to the most recent issues of Dalcroze Connections.
These treasures capture the creativity, wisdom, and spirit of play of generations of teachers. Now, at last, they’re gathered together in a single, searchable library—accessible to members anywhere in the world.
