After practicing architecture for many years, he joined the faculty of the Institut Jaques-Dalcroze in Geneva, Switzerland. He teaches eurhythmics, improvisation, pedagogy, and choreography to the professional level students. He is responsible for all shows, performances and events at the Institut Jaques Dalcroze

Jean-Marc Aeschimann directs a Dalcroze professional training program in France and gives workshops in the United States, Canada and Taiwan. He conducts the Arte Musica Choir of Geneva, a performing group that concertizes in France and Switzerland.

Née au Locle (Neuchâtel), a bénéficié pendant son enfance de l’enseignement de professeurs dalcroziens. Ses études l’ont conduite à Genève: à L’Institut des Sciences de l’éducation,où elle a obtenu un diplôme de pédagogie spécialisée; à L’Institut Jaques-Dalcroze, pour une licence et un diplôme (mention rééducation psychomotrice); et à L’Université, dont elle est licenciée en psychologie génétique et expérimentale. Outre son activité de thérapeute au centre d’expression psychomotrice depuis sa fondation par C.L. Lombard-Dutoit en 1971, elle enseigne les branches dalcroziennes – rythmique, solfège, improvisation au piano – et la psychologie dans les classes professionnelles de L’Institut Jaques-dalcroze de Genève.

En 1983, elle a été invitée à professer pendant un semestre à l’école de musique de l’université d’Ithaca (New York). Invitée à de nombreuses reprises pour donner des stages ou des conférences en Suisse et à l’étranger, elle devient en 1990 directrice de l’Institut Jaques-Dalcroze de Genève, poste qu’elle occupera jusqu’en 2006 tout en gardant un contact avec l’enseignement. Aujourd’hui retraitée, elle reste en contact avec le monde dalcrozien en Suisse et à l’étranger (ateliers, conférences, articles, jurys d’examen) et préside à Genève l’Association des Amis de Jaques-Dalcroze. Son livre, La Rythmique Jaques-Dalcroze, une éducation par la musique et pour la musique (1984), a été traduit en anglais (Dalcroze Today, 1991/1993) et en espagnol (La Rítmica Jaques-Dalcroze; Una educación por la música y para la música, 1998).

My 35 years of teaching experience convince me that Eurythmics is today more relevant than ever, for we live at a time when technologies require that people disconnect from their physical environment in order to experience a virtual one. Eurythmics is a discipline that restores us to our lost organic connections.
The conscious guidance of movement is a central concept to this process. It has to do not only with music and rhythm, but also with our everyday life, alone or in relation to others. Each movement-interaction requires the discovery of our full potential, and of what prevents its actualization.

Background
I have a degree in Musical Education and Eurythmics from the Conservatory in Munich, where I studied with Prof. Amélie Hoellering at Rhythmikon. Outlining the scope and dimension of what awaited us during our 4 years of study, she quoted Eurythmics’ founder, Jacques-Dalcroze: “... a true pedagogue must be a psychologist, physiologist and a creating artist all in one”. Her passion and commitment to the subject were always driven by the quality and dynamics of interpersonal relationship--an aspect integral to her teachings, and to the students’ practices.

Afterwards, I became certified as a Taketina rhythm teacher. Using polyrhythms in multi-layered movements, this system of self-integration consists of vocalized syllables executed in combination with steps and claps or small percussion. While similar to the interpretation of a two-part invention by Bach using our feet and hands, as a method Taketina is different in its repetitive rhythms and melodic patterns. Here, too, in dealing with the topic of coordination the individual is inevitably confronted with a deeper truth about themselves.
My studies in Taketina were an in-depth practice of the basic elements in musical and rhythmic structures, one which today serves me well for creating complex and original lessons for eurhythmics.

What I Do
With my teaching, I give workshops at symposia, and congresses in Europe and in the USA, where I also coach musicians and teachers of music. While in Europe, I teach graduate and certificate courses at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, and mentor practicing teachers at the Music-School-Conservatory, in Zurich. As of 2020, I am currently chairman of the board of FIER.

Ritmica Viva «Ritmica viva» – methode de la communication non-verbale – est une proposition methodique d’auteur créant une possibilité de developpement de la pensée et de l’action creative, prenant en consideration en même temps l’engagement de l’esprit, de l’emotion et du corps. Ritmica viva est ouverte a tout le monde. On peut l’exercer à chaque age, independammant des gouts, talents et possibilités. Elle se vérifie dans la formation des enfants, de la jeunesse et des adultes. Elle est specialement utile, quand on travaille avec les troupes de théâtre, les ensembles de danse, de pantomime (professionnels ainsi que non-professionnels). Ritmica viva était présentée plusieurs fois au cours des congrès, conférences et sessions scientifiques en Pologne et a l’étranger (Geneve, Budapest, Berlin, Remscheid, Hellerau, Riga,Tbilissi, Taipei).

C’est après avoir suivi la filière traditionnelle de l’apprentissage de la danse que je suis arrivée à l’Institut de Rythmique Jaques-Dalcroze de Bruxelles. L’enseignement de la Rythmique, du mouvement fonctionnel et de l’eutonie m’a permis de développer la compréhension et la conscience du mouvement ainsi que la senation corporelle stimulée, guidée et vécue de plus en plus étroitement par et pour la musique. La musique et la danse m’accompagnent depuis ma plus tendre enfance et j’ai eu la chance, grâce à la méthode Dalcroze et à l’esprit qui s’en dégage, de pouvoir fusionner les deux à travers le cours que j’y ai créé en 1980 et qui me passionne davantage chaque jour: la chorégraphie ryhtmique.

«Chorégraphie Rythmique» Vivre la musique, la faire sienne, la traduire naturellement en mouvements, voilà la projet passionnant de la chorégraphie rythmique. Son but est de musicaliser l’élève au maximum, de l’imprégner de rythmes et de nuances et de le rendre capable d’interpréter naturellement et avec justesse les intentions du compositeur quelle que soit la nature de la source sonore. La chorégraphie rythmique existe si l’on y trouve une équivalence entre la musique des sons et la musique des gestes, une fusion entre la musique et le mouvement. Dès lors, chacun réalisera que chaque image sonore, chaque sensation, peut engendrer une pensée significative.

Née le 25 janvier 1958 à Buenos Aires, de nationalité argentine et suisse. Diplômes : 1979 Diplôme d’Education Musicale, Conservatorio Nacional de Música de Buenos Aires, Argentine. 1979 Diplôme de Piano, Conservatorio Nacional de Música de Buenos Aires, Argentine. 1986 Diplôme Pédagogique d’Education Musicale Willems, Association Internationale d’Education Musicale Willems, Lyon, France. 1987 Diplôme Supérieur de Rythmique Jaques-Dalcroze, Institut Jaques-Dalcroze, Genève, Suisse.

A passionate musician, dancer, pedagogue, Jerison has set his sight on making music accessible to a diverse audience and using music to better one’s life. For this life mission, he has chosen Dalcroze Eurhythmics and its approach to facilitate his work.
Jerison received both his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts (2016) in Dalcroze pedagogy from Institut Jaques-Dalcroze, Geneva . To further develop his knowledge and skills in working with Dalcroze, he has travelled the world to study with various Dalcroze masters. With his strong foundation in ballet and dance, he continued to study ballet and modern dance while in Geneva. The combination of mastery in both music and dance furnishes him with a unique ability to truly deliver the essence of Dalcroze Eurhythmics.

Since his return from Switzerland in 2015, Jerison has been actively promoting, conducting, and teaching Dalcroze workshops and classes to musicians, dancers and arts educators in Singapore, and has been repeatedly invited to present and teach in many Asian countries. His work has brought him to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, Vietnam, Europe, America and Australia.
