Dalcroze Eurhythmics Spreads Through South East Asia
By Sandra Nash
It is interesting to witness the vigour with which music teachers in South East Asian countries are taking to European approaches in the field of music education. I refer specifically to Dlacroze Eurhythmics which evolved just one hundred years ago in Switzerland. Its spread and enthusiastic adoption in recent years is probably beyond the wildest dress of tsp founder, Emile Jaques-Dalcroze (1865-1950) yet it is a remarkable to see how his ideas have fallen on fertile soil in countries far from Europe.
