Opis

Emile Jaques-Dalcroze, 1865-1950, was an educational pioneer, musician, and creative artist. This book gives us a fascinating insight into the inception and development of his work, from the end of the last century up to the present day. It traces his growing ideas on the use of movement and of improvisation in the process of music learning, and the application of these ideas to the vital experiencing of musical material, both for children and adults.

Recenzje

Drawing extensively both upon archive materials and on experience in teaching children and adults, the author has produced a valuable reference work for advanced students and professionals in music education and music therapy that clearly demonstrates the wide applicability of Dalcroze's teachings in today's diverse educational settings.
