Dolors Calvet i Prats was born in a family with a long trajectory in the musical areas of pedagogy and interpretation. She was initiated in music when she was 4 years old. Immediately, she took the management of her mother’s Academy. She led an important pedagogic task in Woman Culture section in Societat La Principal in Vilafranca del Penedès and in Acadèmia Ardèvol in Barcelona.
Besides her task as a piano soloist and her activity as a composer of music for piano (as the score that she composed in 1929 for the Barcelona Universal Exposition), Lied and Sardanes. There is also her pedagogic commitment; she followed the Montessori Method and Jacques Dalcroze and Joan Llongueras’ ones.
It was important for Dolors Calvet that music would be intensely lived by each pupil, music should be studied from a global perspective according to each child’s personality and the pupil would learn to “say the music” and “make it speak”.
