Dalcroze Today: An Education through and into Music

by Marie-Laure Bachmann, Jack P. B. Dobbs (Primary Contributor), David Parlett (Translator)

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.
