What can the musical body teach the musical mind, and how does this
take place in a Dalcroze class? Visitors to Dalcroze eurhythmics classes are
traditionally invited to participate in the activities of the lesson, and the
experience yields a different sort of appreciation of the work than mere
observation. Of course, this is not always possible or appropriate-the age
group, skill level, or current project occupying the class may make it
unrealistic for a guest to join in. But where participation is feasible it is also
encouraged, and as any Dalcroze teacher will testify, it makes all the
difference.
