Description:

 

Jaques-Dalcroze Eurhythmics was developed more than a century ago by Swiss musician and  educator Émile Jaques-Dalcroze. Dalcroze Eurhythmics is a multi-sensory method of music  education that uses gesture and movement to better understand different aspects of music. It is a unique approach to music learning and musicianship, appropriate and beneficial for students of  any age and musical ability.

    

In this workshop participants will expand the ability to listen, respond and adapt to others in the room, and learn to use the mind and body together as tools for analyzing and experiencing music.  These techniques make musical concepts vivid and the process is engaging and challenging. Dalcroze Eurhythmics is famously hard to describe because it is experiential, but it is a place for exploration, imagination and creativity.
