Beginning Eurhythmics

Discover how eurhythmics fosters a deep connection between music and movement, enhancing both teaching and learning. In this introductory session, we’ll explore the foundational Dalcroze concept of time, space, and energy—developing kinesthetic awareness and musical expression through purposeful movement.

Conventional wisdom holds that meters of five are somehow inherently more difficult than meters of two, three, four, or six. In this session, participants will experience a series of games and songs that connect young children to uneven meters and encourage them to groove naturally with these patterns!

How can movement cultivate a more profound sense of musicality? This session examines how Dalcroze principles can enhance aesthetic education by deepening musicianship, refining intuition, and nurturing creativity. Experience firsthand how embodied strategies bring music to life.
