MU 524 Eurhythmics for the School Music Classroom
This is a 3-credit graduate course with a non-credit option available. The course is designed for music teachers, but teachers from other disciplines are welcome. We will learn kinesthetic approaches to teaching music concepts, ways to maximize classroom space, techniques for developing the child’s ear, and activities that foster student expression and creativity through improvisation. Teachers will build competency in eurhythmics, solfege, and keyboard improvisation and have the opportunity to complete a portion of the AES Eurhythmics Certificate during the course.
