This new course offering is for those individuals who are interested in pursuing the internationally-recognized Dalcroze Professional Certificate.

This teacher-training course will offer newcomers to the Dalcroze method an opportunity to work towards the Dalcroze Professional Certificate in Thailand for levels 1A, 1B, and possibly 2A. In this way, those living in Asia can begin their Dalcroze studies without having to travel to the US; students must finish Level 2B and Level 3A/B at the Dalcroze Academy summer training program in Oberlin, Ohio. Students can begin their training in Bangkok and continue their studies online through the DSM’s professional studies program. If you would like more information about the DSM and Dalcroze teacher-training, please see the DSM student handbook for complete program details; or, please click here for a quick overview of the program and credentials.

At the Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music (PGVIM), students will have access to practice rooms for daily practice and study. Our venue is located near the beautiful Chao Phraya River, on the Thonburi side of Bangkok. Our movement space is on an upper floor, with a lovely atmosphere and access to an outdoor area overlooking the river.

Exploring Bangkok Together

We will have some time to enjoy Bangkok together! Since we will be near the Chao Phraya River, we can explore some beautiful temples, local markets, and traditional neighborhoods. It will be a wonderful opportunity not only to learn and practice Dalcroze together, but also to reconnect with our friends and colleagues from across Asia.
