Program Description Dalcroze Eurhythmics is a music education method in which students learn about and develop musical skill through movement. The body is used as a musical instrument in itself: clapping, running, swinging arms, vocalization, etc., to explore how movement affects music and vice versa. The class is full of movement, since memories based on physical experiences are comparatively more vivid in our minds than ones generated through aural or visual learning. For younger children and musical beginners, Dalcroze is used to explore all the aspects of music, whereas with more experienced music students, rhythm becomes a sort of focal point in Dalcroze training.
Program Format A variety of movement and music making activities are used in Dalcroze. This class is completely customizable to your class’s unique needs.
Objectives • The students will participate in activities that teach and/or deepen their understanding of the fundamentals of music.
• The students will develop a connection between their physical capabilities and aspects of music, such as pulse, speed, dynamics, etc.
• The students will interact with the presenter in various ways: immediate-response activities versus preparing/practicing routine movements, and verbal versus nonverbal (musical and physical) cues.
