FIER : The World of Eurhythmics Gathered in One Place

News from Latin America (in French)

by Committee on 12 May 2013 in Institutes, Teachers

Pablo Cernik, diplômé de l’Institut Jaques-Dalcroze de Genève et membre du
comité de la FIER, est maintenant de retour dans son pays en Argentine, après
9 ans passés en Suisse et en Espagne, pays dans lequel il a beaucoup œuvré
pour la diffusion de la rythmique.

Actuellement, Pablo supervise la formation pour le Certificat Jaques-Dalcroze
au Mexique. Elda Nelly de Trevino est la coordinatrice institutionnelle du
projet, assistée de Manuel Zazueta et Georgina Gomez de Zazueta. Par ailleurs,
il est fait appel à la collaboration d’autres diplômés, comme Silvia del Bianco et
prochainement Hélène Nicolet. Ce programme a lieu au sein du Conservatorio
De Las Rosas, à Morelia, capitale de l’Etat de Michoacan, centre géographique
du Mexique disposant d’un important patrimoine culturel.

Le Certificat d’Etudes en Rythmique a été créé en accord avec l’Institut Jaques-
Dalcroze de Genève. Il y a actuellement 2 volées représentants 40 étudiants. Ils
viennent de tout le Mexique, et aussi du Venezuela et du Costa Rica. Pour les
prochains cours, nous espérons pouvoir compter sur des étudiants d’Argentine
et de Colombie.

We are sorry to announce that Mrs Hettie van Maanen passed away recently at the age of 93.

She studied eurhythmics in London, Paris and Amsterdam. She was the head of the training program in Eurhythmics at the Conservatory of Rotterdam (Holland), and conducted many workshops throughout the world.

She was the president of the FIER from 1971 to 1982.

We will remember her as a strong personality, deeply dedicated to teaching eurhythmics.

University of Ljubljana International Solfege Competition, May 23, 2013

by Committee on 14 April 2013 in Events

The university describes the event as follows:

The competition shall comprise two parts: a written component and an oral component. The written part will take place in the morning and will test the participantʼs aural perception of musical elements through rhythmic, melodic and harmonic dictations, as well as evaluate the theoretical proﬁciency of the participant. The performance of the tasks will be graded with a points system. Participation in the oral examination in the afternoon shall require a score of at least 85% on the written component. In the oral component participants will present themselves in a (public) display of their musical ability through many sight-reading tasks. The number of measures of each assignment is roughly predetermined, however some small differences may occur.

The competition will be divided into two categories:

Participants ages 19 to 21 on the day of the competition
Participants ages 22 to 24 on the day of the competition

The first prize is a commemorative plaque and 300 euros..

The application fee is €20 for each participant.

Deadline for application: May 9, 2013 (date of postmark).
