Description

The Moving Body in the Aural Skills Classroom-influenced by Dalcroze-eurhythmics-is a practical guide for college-level teachers and students interested in integrating the moving body into the traditional aural skills classroom.

What distinguishes this book from other texts is its central concern with movement-to-music as a tool for developing musical perception and the kinesthetic aspects humans experience as performers.

Moving to music and watching others move cultivates an active, multi-sensory learning experience, in which students learn by discovery and from each other.

Improvisatory and expressive elements are built into exercises to encourage a dynamic link between musical training and artistic performance.

Designed for a three- to four-semester undergraduate curriculum, the book contains a wealth of exercises that teach rhythmic, melodic, harmonic and formal concepts.

Exercises not only develop the ear, but also awaken the muscular and nervous system, foster mind-body connections, strengthen the powers of concentration (being in the "musical now "), develop inner-hearing, short- and long-term memory, multi-tasking skills, limb autonomy, and expressive freedom.

Exercises are presented in a graded, though flexible order allowing you to select individual exercises in any sequence.

Activities involve movement through space (traveling movement) as well as movement in place (stationary movement) for those teaching in small classrooms.

The text can be used as a teacher's manual, a supplementary aural-skills textbook, or as a stand-alone reference in a course dedicated to eurhythmics.

Movement exercises are designed to enhance and work in conjunction with musical examples presented in other texts.

Many exercises also provide an effective aural/sensory tool in the music theory classroom to complement verbal explanations.

The approach integrates easily into any traditional college or conservatory classroom and is compatible with the following systems: fixed do, moveable do, and scale degrees.

A companion website accompanies the text featuring undergraduate students performing select exercises.
