I'd like this site to become a valuable Web resource for Eurhythmics study. Eventually it will include both background information for Dalcroze newcomers as well as more in-depth topics for the advanced student. Links to other Dalcroze sites are also provided. Please be patient as this site is being constructed; I am trying to tie together a lot of information and it's slow going!

What is Eurhythmics? | A one-stop resource for people who want to learn the basics of the Dalcroze musical and educational philosophy. Includes description of the three facets of the complete Eurhythmics program (solfege, rhythmic movement, and improvisation) and some common musical games played in Eurhythmics classes. If you are curious about Eurhythmics, this is the place to start. |
A Eurhythmics experiment at Yale |
This is an excerpt from my doctoral paper which details my introduction of Eurhythmics training to graduate students at the Yale School of Music during the 1996-97 academic year. This paper is about to be published in a series of articles by the American Dalcroze Journal. |
Ongoing projects | Description/executive summary of an article I am currently researching on the muscular language of communication between string players and pianists, with an eye to improving this communication through Eurhythmics. Please email me if you are interested in taking part in the research for this article (email address: [email protected]). |
Other Eurhythmics resources | Where to get more information about Eurhythmics. Links to other sites on the Web, including the Dalcroze Society of America. Also contains contact information for schools and universities which offer training in Eurhythmics. Includes a listing of special summer programs. |
Reading List | A selected list of books and articles for further reading. |
