Program Objectives Students completing graduate music education coursework through The University of the Arts… Design, employ and deliver quality instructional, curriculum and assessment approaches to learning and student growth Utilize effective pedagogical methods to support student musicianship Evolve as creative and innovative musicians who share these musical strengths with their learners through teaching Course Description Introduction to Dalcroze. This course is an introduction to the philosophy, principals and practice of Dalcroze Eurhythmics: musicianship training through body movement, and its applications in the classroom. The essence of eurhythmics is training the body to spontaneously respond to and realize music that is heard, and then, in turn, enhance musicality in performance on an instrument, in composition, conducting, etc. In the primary and secondary music classroom eurhythmics is a holistic, integrative practice that can be applied in general music, ensembles and choir. In this course, we will: (1) introduce the three components of eurhythmics: movement, solfege and improvisation, (2) learn and practice a selection of Dalcroze exercises and tools, and (3) apply them to our specific classroom settings. Student Learning Outcomes Students will… Demonstrate the three components of eurhythmics (movement, solfege and improvisation) through kinesthetic, singing, and listening skills Create unique Dalcroze exercises and tools in the application of instructional practice Construct learning that applies Dalcroze pedagogy to written lesson plans
