http://music.cmu.edu/dalcroze/

Carnegie Mellon University was the first school in the country to establish Dalcroze Eurhythmics training in the curriculum for all music students. All undergraduate music majors take a four-semester sequence of Dalcroze Eurhythmics as part of the core curriculum. In 1968, the Carnegie Mellon School of Music was accredited by the Jaques-Dalcroze Foundation of Geneva

, Switzerland, as a Professional Training Center to grant the Dalcroze Certificate and the Dalcroze License. Since its inception, the Center, founded by Dr. Marta Sanchez, has attracted students from all over the world. The Center has established satellite programs in Taiwan; at the Nagoya School of Music in Nagoya, Japan; and in Korea at Hansei University. The Dalcroze Training Center at Carnegie Mellon operates throughout the year. During the academic year, students may enroll in the Dalcroze program to pursue the Dalcroze Certificate or the Dalcroze License or may enroll in the program in conjunction with a masters degree in music education, performance, or composition. During the summer, the Dalcroze Training Center presents workshops at introductory and advanced levels. Both workshops offer music educators (preschool through college), studio teachers, performers, conductors, music therapists and movement specialists practical applications of Dalcroze principles for performance and teaching. Two summer sessions of Workshop II, totaling 18 units or 6 credits must be successfully completed before applicants may take the required exams for the Dalcroze Certificate. For those applicants who are prepared to pursue the Dalcroze License an additional 18 units or 6 credits is required. Entrance into the License Program is by audition/evaluation.
