Dalcroze Uk Description
There are three branches of Dalcroze Eurhythmics
Rhythmics:
Understanding all the elements of the language of music by experiencing them through the body and learning about the basic principles relating to them.
Ear-training (Kodály in the UK):
Developing skills and knowledge about pitch, intervals, scales, harmony and tonality leading to full comprehension of the building blocks of music and an ability to use these for improvisation.
Improvisation (vocal, instrumental and in movement):
Developing the ability to express musical concepts, feelings and form through spontaneous creation; being able to initiate movement through sound.
Together these three aspects lead to an integrated and expressive understanding of the language of music.
