What is Dalcroze Eurhythmics? Dalcroze is a multi-sensory method of music education that uses gesture and movement to better understand different aspects of music. In a Dalcroze class students 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 fun and challenging. Dalcroze Eurhythmics is famously hard to describe because it is experiential, but it is a place for creativity, imagination and joy. Come and give it a try!
