Since 1992, the\u2019institut Jaques-Dalcroze<\/a> (IJP) offers parent-child rhythmic classes (RPE), thanks to the initiative of Mireille Weber, then dean of the rhythmic solfeggio movement sector. The first classes were for children aged 3 to 4. Later, in 2009, Marina Roh, then dean of the same sector, developed a curriculum for children as young as 12 months. Today, the IJD offers courses at 4 levels: 12-18 months, 19-24 months, 2-3 years and 3-4 years.<\/p>\n

The body is the first instrument<\/b><\/h3>\n

The pedagogical vision developed by musician and pedagogue \u00c9mile Jaques-Dalcroze recognizes that music is not just an abstract art to be decoded intellectually, but a deeply embodied experience: musical understanding is rooted in the body. In lessons based on the Jaques-Dalcroze method, the body becomes the first instrument, and movement the first \u201cnotation\u201d. Listening becomes active and embodied, and music a shared social experience. In early childhood, this philosophy finds its most natural expression.<\/p>\n

Stages of child development<\/b><\/h3>\n

Around 12 months, the child enters a particularly rich phase of development. He begins to walk, reacts more consciously to sounds and rhythms, imitates gestures and vocalizations, and engages in the first forms of social interaction. Later, between 12 months and 4 years, the child evolves in a world where movement, sensation, imitation and emotion are inseparable. It's precisely at this time that Jaques-Dalcroze rhythmic training offers an exceptional framework por early musical education - a framework that engages the whole being of the child.<\/span>'<\/span>the parent as an essential partner in the development process.<\/span>'<\/span>learning.
