Critiques
Following are some comments made by students that experienced Dalcroze
Eurhythmics for the first time:
- "Dalcroze is a great way to teach music to children. It gave me some
good ideas for young children. - I think this could be used for group bonding. It fosters trust and gives
beautiful ideas for communication between musicians. - It is very beneficial because it releases inhibitions.
- It creates deeper musical appreciation.
- Movement through music is very therapeutic.
- Excellent alternative to "in the box teaching".
- It uses non-verbal expression to describe music and frees up
expression in music performance. - Creative way of moving to music.
- It does not judge students when they express personal creativity.
- It gets the person to feel the emotions in music, and not just notes
on a page. - It gives a different way of understanding music.
- It teaches working together.
- Beneficial way to teach phrasing and rhythm in music through the use
of bodily movement. - I learned about Dalcroze by actually doing it."
