Dalcroze Eurhythmics is a unique approach to Music Education. It is based on the premise that the human body is the source of all musical ideas. Physical awareness or kinesthetic intelligence is one of our most powerful senses, yet it is often taken for granted. We use it in everyday situations to keep our balance, judge distances, and manipulate the objects around us. In a similar way, we must move with flexibility, fluidity, and economy in order to play a musical instrument with both passion and skill. Dalcroze Eurhythmics allows us to gain a practical, physical experience of music before we theorize and perform. This ensures that the whole person (not just the fingers and the brain) is educated in the development of musicianship and artistry.

Emile Jaques-Dalcroze (1865-1950) was a Swiss composer and pianist. In the early years of the twentieth century, he began to research the effect of body movement on musical perception, and the impact of musical elements on movement technique. He called his approach to Music Education, Eurhythmics. It means, literally, "good rhythm". His work developed and gained widespread acclaim in the period immediately prior to World War I. Artists in theatre, dance, and visual forms began to attend his classes. The demonstration lessons he gave in Germany at t racted professionals in fields such as physiology and psychology. In this period, Jaques-Dalcroze's followers and supporters included Stanislavski, pioneer of modern theatre; George Bernard Shaw, British writer and critic; Marie Rambert, choreographer and founder of Ballet Rambert; and Adolphe Appia, visionary stage designer. Clearly, Dalcroze Eurhythmics had made a major impact in fields beyond Music Education.

Today, Dalcroze Eurhythmics still attracts high-caliber performers due to its emphasis on educating the "whole person". Eurhythmics provides a concrete approach (movement) to an abstract art (music). Dalcroze Eurhythmics has a three-part structure, consisting of Rhythmics, Solfège, and Improvisation.

RhythmicsRhythmics classes engage the whole body in the physical exploration of musical rhythm, melody, harmony, form, etc. This involves locomotion (moving through space) and gesture (while stationary). Our bodies gain a physical memory of moving to music. Rhythmic exercises refine body memory in terms of technical accuracy and artistic sensibility.

SolfegeSolfège is the European term for the study of pitch through ear training and sight-singing. Jaques-Dalcroze sought to enliven such studies by incorporating concepts of rhythm and space. The Dalcroze Scales train the ear and voice to begin any scale somewhere other than the most obv ious, fundamenta l note ( the ton ic ) . Considering the extent to which late nineteenth-century harmony strayed from the tonic, he saw this as an invaluable skill for theoretical analysis, and performance adaptability. This is still the case, today.

ImprovisationCommunicating and teaching musical material through an instrument tests the flexibility, fluidity, and economy of the Dalcroze-trained musician. Improvisation classes involve the presentation of a particular musical idea, using all the means at the disposal of a composer, ins tantaneous ly. Th is capab i l i t y i s the foundation of the Dalcroze teacher's Art.
