Dalcroze Today - An Education through and into Music (Paperback, New Ed)

Emile Jaques-Dalcroze (1865-1950) was a Swiss composer and pedagogue who devised a method of music education based on rhythm, movement and aural training, entitled Eurythmics. He founded the Institut Jaques-Dalcroze in Geneva after World War I, and from there his ideas and influence spread throughout Europe, America and the English-speaking world. Dalcroze believed that, far from being the prerogative of an elite, the study of music should be universal, and that sensitive teaching could nurture and help express the innate musicality of children. His approach sought to develop a refined ear, nervous sensitivity, a sense of rhythm and a spontaneous ability to externalize inward sensations, all things essential to a deep comprehension of music. The use of movement and improvization became central to the learning process, as Dalcroze considrered the first-hand aural and physical experience of music essential to the growth of musicianship.
