The course uses movement as a tool for gaining a deep understanding of the elements of music. It places practice before theory and encourages experience and discovery. It improves rhythmic expression, aural perception, sight-reading skill, and creative confidence. It is suitable for those wanting to gain insight into the Dalcroze approach, either for their own musicianship or for their teaching practice.
