2. INPROVIZATION

3. EURHYTHMICSBy TakakoMato

5. Through the beat, character, and timber

6. Imagine scenery according to the music and put yourself in the scene. (Improvisation)

7. How can one teach students to express their feelings using the whole body?

8. Teach students what to listen to and demonstrate how to react physically to the musical stimulus.

9. How can one teach students to interpret someone’s feeling by observing their body movement?

12. Natural body movements to music develop rhythm concepts.

13. Solfege and ear training help develop the inner hearing skills for listening accurately.

15. Venn Diagram: I created a Venn Diagram to compare the Dalcrozsmethod to the Kodaly Method.

16. Brochure: I made a brochure inviting students to participate in the Dalcroze Workshop.

19. Professional Development I realized that eurhythmics are something that I cannot learn through reading about; Imust experience it for myself. I will continue implementing the methods into my lesson plan and would like to attend a workshop that offered by Dalcroze Societyof America.

20. Reflections I have learned that moving to music is one of the most important musical experiences for learners. Dalcroze methods can give learners both responsibilities and freedom in their own listening and imagination that may help them create their own movements (improvisation). I believe that eurhythmics should be the core of music teaching in the school.
