Originally published in 1920, this early works is an informative
look at the importance of music in education with one of the most
important factors being the training and development of the sense
of Rhythm. It will appeal greatly to any one interested in the
study or teaching of music. Many of the earliest books,
particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now

"Rhythmische Gymnastik" is the name by which the Dalcroze method is
known in Germany, but whether or not the German words are adequate,
their literal translation into English certainly gives too narrow
an idea of the scope of the system to any one unacquainted with it.
Rhythmical "gymnastics," in the natural meaning of the word, is a
part of the Dalcroze training, and a not unimportant part, but it
is only one application of a much wider principle; and accordingly,
where the term occurs in the following pages, it must be understood
simply as denoting a particular mode of physical drill. But for the
principle itself and the total method embodying it, another name is
needed, and the term "Eurhythmics" has been here coined for the
purpose. The originality of the Dalcroze method, the fact that it
is a discovery, gives it a right to a name of its own: it is
because it is in a sense also the rediscovery of an old secret that
a name has been chosen of such plain reference and derivation.
Plato, in the words quoted above, has said that the whole of a
man's life stands in need of a right rhythm: and it is natural to
see some kinship between this Platonic attitude and the claim of
Dalcroze that his discovery is not a mere refinement of dancing,
nor an improved method of music-teaching, but a principle that must
have effect upon every part of life.
