The Study and Practice of Rhythmic Movement and Music
Being the revised edition of First Lessons in Rhythmic Movement and Supplement to First Lessons in Rhythmic Movement.
- Author:
Winifred E. Houghton.
Published by the London School of Ualcroze Eurhythmies, 37 Fitzroy Square, W.l. 4/-.
As its sub-title explains, this publication includes the essential subject matter of four earlier volumes, at the cost of one only, and it thus meets a very real need for workers who have a limited sum to spend on reference and text books. Teachers will welcome it and will find within its 38 pages:?
i. A clear and concise explanation of the fundamental principles of eurhythmies. ii. Essential outline music to help improvisation. iii. A presentation of the subject to children (note values .. . time values … phrasing, etc.) in attractive rhymes and ditties.
iv. Material to enable the class teacher to expand and adapt what she here finds to other material of her own choosing.
A short note by the author?who is wellknown to numbers of teachers who have attended C.A.M.W. ” Short Courses”? emphasises that eurhythmies must be a “joy.” Her book will enable many to attain that joy and to bring it to their children through music intelligently appreciated. S.J.H.
