About Dalcroze Eurythmics

Dalcroze Eurythmics is a groundbreaking approach to music training which imbues in students of all ages and experience an understanding and love of music through its use of the whole body. Emile Jaques-Dalcroze, who developed this approach during the first half of the 20th century to support creative expression, realized that his students' sensitivity, understanding and performance improved through the interaction of body, mind, and spirit.

The activities in a typical Dalcroze class challenge the students to greater sensory awarenss and mental concentration, in an atmosphere of exploration by engaging the whole body through suggested movement and voice exploration that also incorporates improvisation. The result is joyful participation by the whole person.
