Students will be introduced to the philosophy and instructional approach of Émile Jaques-Dalcroze (1865-1950). Components of the course include: Eurhythmics & Movement, Solfège Rhythmique, Improvisation (instrument, movement, vocal, text), Plastique Animèe for the classroom, Pedagogy Application for grades K-5. Classroom music teachers learn how to apply Eurhythmics principles to create effective, age-appropriate lesson activities and plans for immediate use with students, while at the same time strengthening their individual musicianship and movement.
