Extract

The author calls for the physical, kinesthetic sense, to be recognised and understood for its role in all musical experience, on a par with our mental capacities, and also suggests that it is the missing, yet essentially vitalising part, of what might be called a ‘whole human’ response to and engagement with music. This thinking is applied to support an emerging theory of practice, which takes its original inspiration from the principles of Dalcroze Eurhythmics: principles which have been adapted and developed to meet the changing needs of contemporary education.
