Method and mission:

Inspiring students to interpret the sonic world physically

Studying and instructing eurhythmics has been pivotal in my understanding of time and music. I love sharing my passion of eurhythmics, and hope to inspire students though kinesthetic games and unique approaches to music fundamentals. By sensationalizing sound, we can understand, interpret, and live vocabulary to its fullest.

Currently Teaching @ : Preparatory Department of the Cleveland Institute of Music, The Music Settlement, Sphinx Performance Academy, and Horizon Motessori

A Short history of Eurhythmics

The Eurhythmics method was founded by educator and musician, Γ‰mile Jaques-Dalcroze, at the beginning of the 20th century. In a eurhythmics class, students examine kinesthetic experiences (such as musical games and playful stories) that are paired with aural direction. This joyful exploration deeply informs the musical mind, and allows musicians to live the music they hear. Rhythm, form, melodic and harmonic concepts can be translated onto a physical spectrum, and understood on a intrinsic level.
