Dalcroze Eurhythmics is a somatic musical education method that prepares the body and mind to integrate abstract muscial concepts. It teaches an understanding of music—its fundamental concepts, expressive meanings, and deep connections to other arts and human activities—through ground-breaking techniques incorporating rhythmic movement; ear training; and physical, vocal, and instrumental improvisation. At WCMS, we have been teaching Dalcroze Eurhythmics for 25 years. We have the largest and most qualified Dalcroze Eurhythmics program in Massachusetts and highly trained faculty who hold master's degrees, certifications, and licenses in Dalcroze Eurhythmics.
