This book gives you a peek - but only a peek - into Emile Jacques-Dalcroze's ideas on "rhythmic gymnastics", or his methodology for teaching music via organized movement. It's a quick read that delivers insight into how he utilized his methodology and what he was able to accomplish, but it doesn't really even scratch the surface. I am now even more curious than ever and interested in really digging deep into Dalcroze eurhythmics. I have had a little bit of training and experience, but I'm anxious to learn how to utilize it more effectively and consistently in my music classrooms, so I need to find a thicker, more detailed book about it.
