For creative practitioners, teachers and facilitators.

Dalcroze Eurhythmics is a unique discipline where all elements of music are physicalised to deepen understanding. This workshop is designed for participants to discover how this methodology could benefit their creative and teaching practice.


Dalcroze Eurhythmics is a method of music education that was created by Jacques Dalcroze in the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century. It can be described as music through movement. It remains relevant today as a pedagogical approach and has been adapted to the requirements of modern educational principles. It lends itself very favourably to the child’s natural instinct to move and explore the world through many senses.

It is also used in many contexts including Early years Music Education, Music with Seniors, Music for Children and Adults with additional learning needs, Music Therapy and also, in the training of dancers and actors.


There are three core areas which are developed in all Dalcroze training. These are:

RHYTHMICS – The physical embodiment of music.

IMPROVISATION – A way for students to explore and express

musical and other artistic concepts, thereby

liberating their creativity and gaining an

understanding of a range of musical processes

SOLFEGE – Development of Aural training and inner hearing

through movement (pitch, rhythm, phrasing and

form)

The taster day invites you to experience Dalcroze Rhythmics, Improvisation and Solfege classes for yourself.
