Biography
In 1937, she learnt to teach music at the School of Music José Angel Lick, where she learned piano from Moses Moleiro, musical theory from Eduardo Square, harmony from Antonio Estévez, and music history from Juan Bautista Square. In 1944, she studied music pedagogy at the New York Teacher's College of the University of Columbia, and in 1945 at the Juilliard School of Music, and finally, at the New York Dalcroze School. She taught Dalcroze Eurhythmics (developed by Émile Jaques-Dalcroze (1865–1950)) at both the Normal School Gran Colombia and the High School of Music (now called the School of Music Juan Manuel Olivares). In 1958 she developed, on behalf of the Ministry of Education, seminars and workshops on the implementation of the music education program of the Ministry. From 1959 to 1963 she acted as National Minister of Education Supervisor. After a stay of several years in Paris, she founded in 1972, with the support of the National Council of Culture (CONAC), the Experimental School of Music Pedagogy, which she led for fifteen years. In 1988, she was professor of music education at the Central University of Venezuela. In addition to numerous publications on music education, Flor Roffé de Estévez wrote a monograph on Vicente Emilio Sojo, as well as a series of editions with Venezuelan songs for various groups.
